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

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.
Whether the building is in central Harrogate or the wider HG1, HG2 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Yeadon, Guiseley, Leeds. Harrogate lies roughly 30 km from York, within our North Yorkshire coverage.
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.
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.
If an existing frame in a Harrogate building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Harrogate budgets are not open-ended.
Timber fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Harrogate, including care homes and public buildings.
Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in Harrogate and across North Yorkshire, including the HG1 district and nearby Yeadon.
Survey timing in Harrogate 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.
