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.

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 you work on occupied buildings in Leatherhead?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

Can you price fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Leatherhead 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.
