What our fire-rated windows service includes in Skelmersdale

- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Fixed fire-rated windows
Key checks for Skelmersdale projects
Escape windows are different
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
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.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.

England regulations that shape the job
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.
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.

Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
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 you work on occupied buildings in Skelmersdale?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Can you price fire-rated windows in Skelmersdale from photos?
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.
