Most fire-rated windows are fixed lights, because opening windows need the opening sash, hinges and locks to be tested too. We supply and install fixed and, where tested, opening fire-rated windows in steel, aluminium and timber, matched to the surrounding windows where possible.
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Notting Hill, including the W11, W2, W8, W12, W10, W14 districts, and in nearby Shepherds Bush, Willesden, Fulham. We cover Notting Hill as part of our Greater London coverage.

Sector guides below cover blocks of flats, schools and colleges and other buildings in Notting Hill.
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
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.
