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.
Our Lincolnshire coverage takes in Grimsby (DN32, DN31, DN34, DN35, DN33) and the neighbouring towns of Cleethorpes, Kingston upon Hull, Scunthorpe. Lincoln, around 49 km from Grimsby, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
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.
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Grimsby around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Grimsby budgets are not open-ended.

Yes. The timber can be painted, stained or lacquered. Intumescent seals are kept clear of paint.
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.
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 Grimsby and across Lincolnshire, including the DN32 district and nearby Cleethorpes.
