What our fire-rated windows service includes in Brent
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.
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Brent
Why fixed lights are common
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
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.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.

Fire-Rated Windows: Brent 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.
Do fire-rated windows look different?
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Brent?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Brent?
Survey timing in Brent 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.
