What every Rawtenstall quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Rawtenstall 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 Rawtenstall budgets are not open-ended.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Rawtenstall identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Rawtenstall
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
Upgrade or replace?
If the existing frame can be shown to be suitable, new glass and seals may be enough; otherwise a complete rated frame is the reliable answer.

Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights: Rawtenstall questions
Does the glass above a fire door need to be fire-rated?
If the wall or door assembly is fire-resisting, yes. Ordinary glass above or beside a fire door creates a weak point.
Do side panels need safety glass too?
Yes. Glass within 300mm of a door edge and below 1500mm is a critical location for impact safety.
How quickly can you survey in Rawtenstall?

Can you price fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Rawtenstall from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
