How we work in Rugeley
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Rugeley building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Rugeley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
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.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.

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.
Can you just replace the glass?
Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.

Survey timing in Rugeley 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 work on occupied buildings in Rugeley?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
