What our timber fire-rated screens service includes in Hartlepool
Timber fire-rated screens are glazed partitions made with hardwood frames, glazing beads and intumescent seals that have been tested together to resist fire. They are common in schools, healthcare, heritage buildings and residential blocks where a warmer finish is wanted.
- Fire-stopping to the structure
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Hartlepool
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
Beads are part of the rating
Bead profile, height and fixing type and spacing are all taken from the test. Short-cutting the fixings is a common reason screens fail inspection.
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
England regulations that shape the job
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 timber fire-rated screens in Hartlepool
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.
Can timber screens be painted?
Yes. The timber can be painted, stained or lacquered. Intumescent seals are kept clear of paint.
Do you carry out timber fire-rated screens in Hartlepool?
Yes. We survey and install in Hartlepool and across County Durham, including the TS24 district and nearby Peterlee.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Hartlepool?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
