What our fire-rated windows service includes in Ely
Fire-rated windows are windows tested as complete units to resist fire, needed where an external wall must protect a neighbouring property, where a window looks onto a protected stair or escape route, or where two parts of a building face each other at close range.
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
What you can expect in Ely
Honest about unknowns

Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Ely around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Ely
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Retrofits
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
Boundary distance
The closer a wall is to a boundary, the less unprotected area it can have. Fixed windows that meet the wall's full fire-resistance requirement, including insulation where required, are not counted as unprotected area; integrity-only glazing generally still is.
Ely coverage and nearby towns
Whether the building is in central Ely or the wider CB7, CB6 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Newmarket, March, Cambridge. Peterborough, around 40 km from Ely, is the largest town in the same coverage area.

Fire-Rated Windows: Ely questions
Is fire-rated glass in a standard window enough?
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
When do I need a fire-rated window?
Usually when a wall is close to a boundary, when a window overlooks a protected escape route, or when part of a building faces another part at close range. Your designer or building control will confirm.
How quickly can you survey in Ely?
Survey timing in Ely 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.
Do you carry out fire-rated windows in Ely?
Yes. We survey and install in Ely and across Cambridgeshire, including the CB7 district and nearby Newmarket.
