What every Northampton quote includes
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Northampton budgets are not open-ended.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Northampton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters
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.
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.
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.

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.
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Northampton?
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 Northampton?
Survey timing in Northampton 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.
