Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Chelmsford: what's included
We supply and install tested steel screen systems in black, RAL colours and industrial finishes, including the gridded warehouse look, with integrated single and double doors. Each screen is drawn up within its system evidence so the appearance does not come at the cost of the rating.

- Single, double and sliding door options within the system
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
How we work in Chelmsford
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Chelmsford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Chelmsford budgets are not open-ended.
What to check before ordering steel fire-rated screens in Chelmsford
Weight and fixing
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
Finishes and the rating
Paint and powder coat are normally covered by the evidence, but intumescent strips and seals must not be painted over. We protect them during finishing.
Thermal bridging on external use
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.
Chelmsford coverage and nearby towns
Our Essex coverage takes in Chelmsford (CM1, CM2) and the neighbouring towns of Billericay, Witham, Maldon. Chelmsford lies roughly 28 km from Southend-on-Sea, within our Essex coverage.

Fire glazing rules in England
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.

Questions about steel fire-rated screens in Chelmsford
Can steel fire screens include doors?
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Are Crittall-style screens fire-rated?
Some steel systems with that look are tested for fire, many decorative ones are not. Ask for the classification and test evidence; we only quote tested systems for fire-rated positions.
Do you carry out steel fire-rated screens in Chelmsford?
Yes. We survey and install in Chelmsford and across Essex, including the CM1 district and nearby Billericay.
How quickly can you survey in Chelmsford?
Survey timing in Chelmsford 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.
