How we work in Bournemouth
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 Bournemouth building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Bournemouth around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.

Privacy
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Load and fire together
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.

Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.

England regulations that shape the job
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.
Sectors we cover in Bournemouth
We can survey and quote for public buildings, blocks of flats and other building types in Bournemouth.
FAQs for Bournemouth
How big can a fire-rated glass floor panel be?
Each system sets maximum panel sizes; larger areas are divided by a supporting grid.
Can we see through it?
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
Can you price fire-rated glass floors in Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
