What our fire-rated glazed screens service includes in Dartford
A fire-rated glazed screen is an internal wall made largely of glass that forms part of a fire-resisting construction, such as a corridor wall, a stair enclosure or a compartment wall. It lets daylight and sightlines through while holding back fire for the period the fire strategy requires.
- Integrity or insulating glass to the required classification
- Integrated fire doors and glazed doorsets
- Steel, aluminium, timber or frameless frame systems
- Fire-stopping at head, jambs and sill to the system details
How we work in Dartford
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Dartford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Dartford around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Dartford budgets are not open-ended.
Key checks for Dartford projects
What the screen is fixed to matters
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.
Building control
New screens, and changes to existing fire-resisting walls, are normally building work. We provide the product evidence your building control body or approved inspector will ask for.
Movement and deflection
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.

FAQs for Dartford
How long does installation take?
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.
How large can a fire-rated glazed screen be?
It depends on the system's evidence. Most systems state maximum pane sizes and overall heights; very tall or wide screens may need an assessment from a test body. We confirm the limits during design.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Dartford?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Do you carry out fire-rated glazed screens in Dartford?
Yes. We survey and install in Dartford and across Kent, including the DA1 district and nearby Bexley.
