What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Buckley
Heritage buildings
Timber suits listed and older buildings, and existing screens can sometimes be upgraded with new glass and seals, subject to an assessment of the frame.
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
Fire glazing rules in Wales
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.

Timber Fire-Rated Screens: Buckley questions
Which timbers are used?
Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
Can you upgrade an old timber screen?
Sometimes. If the frame can be shown to be suitable, we can replace non-rated glass and add the correct seals and beads. Where it cannot, replacement is the honest answer.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Buckley?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Can you price timber fire-rated screens in Buckley from photos?
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.
