What's involved with fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Ashford (Surrey)
Fanlights, side panels and borrowed lights are the glazed panels above and beside doors, or set into internal walls to share daylight between rooms. Where the wall or door around them is fire-resisting, the glazing must be fire-rated too, or it becomes the weak point.

Key checks for Ashford (Surrey) projects
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.
Flat entrance doors
In blocks of flats, the glazing around flat entrance doors forms part of the protection of the common parts and needs to match the door's performance.
England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?

An internal window that shares daylight between rooms or with a corridor. In a fire-resisting wall it must be fire-rated.

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.
