How we work in Ipswich
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Ipswich building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Ipswich around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Ipswich budgets are not open-ended.
Before you order fire-rated curtain walling: what matters
Thermal and acoustic
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.
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.

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.
