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.
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
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.
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
Whether the building is in central Stourport-on-Severn or the wider DY13, DY11 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Kidderminster, Droitwich, Bromsgrove. Stourport-on-Severn lies roughly 17 km from Worcester, within our Worcestershire coverage.

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

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.
Fire-rated windows applies to many building types in Stourport-on-Severn, including care homes and public buildings.
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.
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
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 plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
