What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Dartford
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.
Fire glazing rules in England
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.

FAQs for Dartford
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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Dartford?
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 Dartford?
Survey timing in Dartford 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.
