Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Manchester: what's included

We supply and install fire-rated curtain walling and fire-rated zones within standard curtain walling, alongside the fire-stopping at slab edges. External wall work is closely scrutinised after recent regulatory changes, so every element we fit is backed by evidence for its position.

  • Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
  • Handover evidence for the building record
  • External-grade fire glass
  • Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems

What you can expect in Manchester

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Manchester building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Manchester budgets are not open-ended.

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

Key checks for Manchester projects

Boundaries

External walls close to a boundary may need to be fire-resisting with limited unprotected areas. Fixed glazing that meets the wall's full fire-resistance requirement, including insulation where required, is not counted as unprotected area, so it can let you keep glass in those positions.

Higher-risk buildings

Work on higher-risk residential buildings in England goes through the Building Safety Regulator, which needs full product evidence at the design stage.

Slab edges

The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.

Areas we cover around Manchester

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.
