Fire-rated windows are windows tested as complete units to resist fire, needed where an external wall must protect a neighbouring property, where a window looks onto a protected stair or escape route, or where two parts of a building face each other at close range.
We cover Woking and the surrounding postcode districts, including GU22, GU21. Nearby towns we also serve include Guildford, Egham, Walton-on-Thames. Woking is the largest town in our Surrey coverage.
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
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.
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.
Every quote in Woking identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Woking budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Fire-rated windows applies to many building types in Woking, including blocks of flats and schools and colleges.
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested 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.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in Woking and across Surrey, including the GU22 district and nearby Guildford.
