Key checks for Stretford projects
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.

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.
Building types we cover in Stretford

How tall can frameless fire glass go?
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Stretford?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Stretford?
