Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Beckenham: what's included
The rating depends on the timber species and density, frame sections, bead profiles, fixings and the glazing seals used in the test. We build timber screens to a tested specification, or to a formal assessment, and finish them without compromising the intumescent details.
- Fire-stopping to the structure
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Beckenham
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
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.

How we work in Beckenham

England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Beckenham around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

Timber Fire-Rated Screens: Beckenham questions
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 Beckenham?
Yes. We survey and install in Beckenham and across Greater London, including the BR3 district and nearby Catford.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Beckenham?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
