What you can expect in Nailsea
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Rated systems, not just rated glass

Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Nailsea building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Key checks for Nailsea projects
Doors
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
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.

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.
