What our frameless fire-rated glazing service includes in Swanley
Frameless fire-rated glazing is a glass wall where panes meet edge to edge with a tested sealant joint instead of vertical frames, held in discreet head and base channels. It gives an almost uninterrupted view while still being tested to resist fire.
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Manifestation design
How we work in Swanley
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Swanley building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Swanley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
The joint is part of the test
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Swanley coverage and nearby towns
Whether the building is in central Swanley or the wider BR8, DA4, BR5 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Bexley, Dartford, Welling. Swanley is about 28 km from Maidstone, the largest town in our Kent coverage.

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 Swanley
Frameless fire-rated glazing applies to many building types in Swanley, including industrial units and offices.
Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: Swanley questions
How tall can frameless fire glass go?
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
Is frameless fire-rated glass possible?
Yes, using tested butt-jointed systems, usually with insulating glass. It must be installed exactly to the tested details.
Can you price frameless fire-rated glazing in Swanley 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Swanley?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
