Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Sittingbourne: 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.

  • Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
  • External-grade fire glass
  • Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
  • Fire-rated zones within mixed facades

Key checks for Sittingbourne projects

External-grade glass

External fire glass must be suitable for UV and weather exposure, usually in a sealed double-glazed unit with the fire pane positioned as tested.

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.

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.

Sittingbourne coverage and nearby towns

We cover Sittingbourne and the surrounding postcode districts, including ME10, ME9. Nearby towns we also serve include Faversham, Gillingham, Chatham. Maidstone, around 17 km from Sittingbourne, is the largest town in the same coverage area.

How we work in Sittingbourne

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Sittingbourne identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Honest about unknowns

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

Fire-Rated Curtain Walling: Sittingbourne questions

Can you add fire-rated zones to existing curtain walling?

Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.

Do you work on high-rise buildings?

We can supply and install on taller buildings where the project has the required approvals, and we provide evidence suitable for the Building Safety Regulator in England.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Sittingbourne?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

How quickly can you survey in Sittingbourne?

Survey timing in Sittingbourne depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
