Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →Steel fire-rated screens in Chiswick is usually needed for one of three reasons: new building work, a change to an existing fire-resisting wall, or defects found in an inspection. We handle all three.

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.
Decorative steel-look aluminium or slim steel partitions sold for offices are not automatically fire-rated. We only fit systems with test or assessment evidence for the classification you need.
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire 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.
Whether the building is in central Chiswick or the wider W4, W3, SW13, W6, W14, W12 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Acton, Barnes, Shepherds Bush. Chiswick sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Acton.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Chiswick budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Chiswick building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Every quote in Chiswick identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
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.
We can survey and quote for blocks of flats, offices and other building types in Chiswick.
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.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
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.
Building work in Chiswick follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
