Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
Fire-rated glass floors and horizontal rooflights are specialist systems with limited sizes and tested frames. We supply and install them where the evidence matches your span, load and rating, and coordinate the structural support with your engineer.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Gillingham identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Gillingham building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Glass floors are made to order with longer lead times; we plan early with your contractor.
Horizontal glazing in a fire-rated roof or floor behaves differently from a wall, so wall glass cannot simply be laid flat.
Coverage around Gillingham includes the ME7, ME4, ME5, ME8 districts and nearby Chatham, Rochester, Strood. Maidstone, around 14 km from Gillingham, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Fire-rated glass floors applies to many building types in Gillingham, including healthcare buildings and industrial units.
Yes, using specialist tested systems that cover load-bearing capacity as well as integrity and insulation.
R is load-bearing capacity, E is integrity and I is insulation. A floor needs R because it carries people and loads.
Survey timing in Gillingham depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
