Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights
Glazed over-panels, side lights and borrowed lights around fire doors.
Learn more →From the SM1 district outwards, we arrange timber fire-rated screens for buildings across Sutton, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
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.
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.
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.
Our Greater London coverage takes in Sutton (SM1, SM2, SM3, SM7, SM5, SM6) and the neighbouring towns of Carshalton, Banstead, Ewell. Sutton is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
If an existing frame in a Sutton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Sutton budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Sutton identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Sector guides below cover schools and colleges, public buildings and other buildings in Sutton.
Yes. The timber can be painted, stained or lacquered. Intumescent seals are kept clear of paint.
Yes. Hardwood screens are tested to 30 and 60 minutes in many configurations, with the right glass, beads and seals.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in Sutton and across Greater London, including the SM1 district and nearby Carshalton.
