How we work in Horley

Honest about unknowns

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

Evidence you can file

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

Work around occupied buildings

We can phase work in Horley around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.

What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in Horley

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.

Thermal and acoustic

Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.

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.

Where we work around Horley

We cover Horley and the surrounding postcode districts, including RH6. Nearby towns we also serve include Crawley, Redhill, Reigate. Horley is about 32 km from Woking, the largest town in our Surrey coverage.

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.

Fire-Rated Curtain Walling: Horley questions

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.

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.

How quickly can you survey in Horley?

Survey timing in Horley 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.

Do you carry out fire-rated curtain walling in Horley?

Yes. We survey and install in Horley and across Surrey, including the RH6 district and nearby Crawley.
