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

Do you work on occupied buildings in Frome?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

Yes. We survey and install in Frome and across Somerset, including the BA11 district and nearby Trowbridge.
