Butt-jointed fire glass walls with minimal frames.
Learn more →For Broadstairs buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated glass partitions wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

Fire-rated glass partitions are office-style glazed walls that are also tested to resist fire, used where a meeting room, corridor wall or reception wall forms part of a protected route or compartment. They look like standard office partitions but use rated frames, glass and seals throughout.
A fire-rated partition is only as good as the construction above it. If the wall has to run to the slab, the ceiling void needs fire-stopping or a rated head detail.
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
Our Kent coverage takes in Broadstairs (CT10, CT11, CT9) and the neighbouring towns of Ramsgate, Margate, Deal. Maidstone, around 65 km from Broadstairs, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
We can phase work in Broadstairs around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Broadstairs budgets are not open-ended.
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.
Fire-rated glass partitions applies to many building types in Broadstairs, including schools and colleges and hotels.
Frames may be slightly deeper and glass slightly thicker, but most systems are hard to tell apart from standard partitions.
Yes. We can supply and install the rated glazing package within a wider fit-out, working to your programme.

Survey timing in Broadstairs 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.
