Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Southport: what's included

- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
Before you order timber fire-rated screens: what matters
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
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.
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
Southport coverage and nearby towns
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Southport, including the PR8, PR9 districts, and in nearby Formby, Lytham St Annes, Ormskirk. Southport lies roughly 26 km from Liverpool, within our Merseyside coverage.

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.

We can survey and quote for care homes, industrial units and other building types in Southport.
