Key checks for Sutton-in-Ashfield projects
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: Sutton-in-Ashfield questions

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.

Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.

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 Sutton-in-Ashfield?
