Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights
Glazed over-panels, side lights and borrowed lights around fire doors.

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.
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
Coverage around Dagenham includes the RM10, RM7, RM8, RM9, RM12, RM1 districts and nearby Becontree, Romford, Hornchurch. Dagenham sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Becontree.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Dagenham budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Dagenham 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.
Sector guides below cover offices, schools and colleges and other buildings in Dagenham.
Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
Yes. The timber can be painted, stained or lacquered. Intumescent seals are kept clear of paint.
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.
Survey timing in Dagenham 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.
