What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Worthing
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.

England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

FAQs for Worthing
Can aluminium fire screens be used outside?
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.

Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Worthing?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Worthing?
Building work in Worthing follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
