Steel Fire-Rated Screens
Slim steel frames for long spans, high ratings and heavy glass.
Learn more →For Rayleigh buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated glazed screens wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We design, supply and install fire-rated screens in steel, aluminium, timber and frameless formats, working from the rating and positions on your fire strategy. Every screen is built within the limits of its test or assessment evidence: pane sizes, transom and mullion spacing, glass type and the way it is fixed to the surrounding structure.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
We can phase work in Rayleigh around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Rayleigh budgets are not open-ended.
Long screens under slabs need deflection heads so floor movement does not crack the glass or open gaps. The head detail has to come from the same evidence as the rest of the screen.
Fire glass can be combined with acoustic or security performance in many systems. We confirm the combined build-up is covered before pricing it.
Test evidence covers the screen's connection to specific supporting constructions, such as masonry, concrete or a tested partition. Fixing into a lightweight wall that is not covered can undermine the rating, so we check the substrate first.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Rayleigh, including the SS6, SS7, SS5, SS11 districts, and in nearby South Benfleet, Wickford, Pitsea. Rayleigh lies roughly 9 km from Southend-on-Sea, within our Essex coverage.
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.
We can survey and quote for care homes, schools and colleges and other building types in Rayleigh.
Small screens are often fitted in a day once manufactured. Larger runs depend on site access and phasing; we agree a programme with you when we quote.
Yes. We plan dust control, out-of-hours working and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

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.

We visit Rayleigh to measure, record existing marks and check the frames and substrate.
You receive a written quote naming the tested system and classification.
We install, photograph seals and fixings before closing up, and hand over the schedule.
Send sizes, photos of any glass marks or your inspection report and we will come back with the right tested system.
