EI glass is the choice where people need to pass close to the glass during a fire, where combustible materials sit near it, or where building guidance would otherwise restrict glazing. We supply and fit EI 30 to EI 120 glass in tested frames, internally and externally.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Notting Hill budgets are not open-ended.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Whether the building is in central Notting Hill or the wider W11, W2, W8, W12, W10, W14 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Shepherds Bush, Willesden, Fulham. Notting Hill is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
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.
Sector guides below cover offices, public buildings and other buildings in Notting Hill.
Only products approved for external use, usually in a sealed unit with UV protection.
Yes. Once the interlayers have reacted, the glass has done its job and must be replaced.
Survey timing in Notting Hill depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
