Insulated Fire Glass (EI)
EI 30 to EI 120 glass that blocks heat as well as flames.
Learn more →From the DA15 district outwards, we arrange fire-resistant glass for buildings across Bexley, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We supply and fit fire-resistant glass into new and existing fire-rated frames, matching the glass type, thickness, beads, seals and fixings to the test or assessment evidence for that frame. The glass on its own does not carry a rating; the combination does, so we start every job by identifying the system you have or need.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Bexley budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Bexley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Bexley around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
No. A frame is only rated with the glass types and pane sizes it was tested or assessed with. We check the frame's evidence before quoting, and if the existing frame is unknown we say so and price the options.
The fire strategy or building control drawings set the rating for each element. Integrity-only glass is cheaper and thinner, but its use on escape routes is restricted; insulating glass carries far fewer restrictions because people can pass it safely during a fire.
Most fire glass is permanently marked with its product and classification. We record the marks, pane sizes and evidence references on handover so whoever is responsible for fire safety can show what is installed.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Bexley, including the DA15, DA5, DA6, DA7, DA14, DA1 districts, and in nearby Welling, Dartford, Swanley. We cover Bexley as part of our Greater London coverage.
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.
We can survey and quote for student accommodation, blocks of flats and other building types in Bexley.
E is integrity only: it stops flames and hot gases passing for the rated time. EW adds a limit on radiated heat through the glass. EI adds insulation, keeping the unexposed face below set temperature rises so people can pass it safely. The number after the letters is the time in minutes.
Often, yes. We read the marks on the existing panes and check them against the frame evidence. Where the original product is discontinued we look for an alternative covered by the same evidence or a formal assessment.
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 Bexley and across Greater London, including the DA15 district and nearby Welling.

A survey in Bexley confirms sizes, access, existing evidence and fixing conditions.
We set out the system, glass, evidence and programme, with a fixed price.
Work is completed to the manufacturer's details and documented for your records.
Send sizes, photos of any glass marks or your inspection report and we will come back with the right tested system.
