What's involved with fire-rated curtain walling in Witney
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.
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
- Handover evidence for the building record
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
Before you order fire-rated curtain walling: what matters
Combustibility rules
In England, materials in the external walls of relevant buildings 18 metres or more in height are restricted. We coordinate with the facade designer on every component.
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.
Fire glazing rules in England
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.

Questions about fire-rated curtain walling in Witney
When does curtain walling need to be fire-rated?
Typically where the facade is near a boundary, where it encloses a protected stair or lobby, or where fire spread between floors has to be controlled. The fire strategy sets the requirement.
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 carry out fire-rated curtain walling in Witney?
Yes. We survey and install in Witney and across Oxfordshire, including the OX28 district and nearby Oxford.
How quickly can you survey in Witney?
Survey timing in Witney 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.
