Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We supply and fit integrity glass in screens, doors, vision panels and windows where the fire strategy allows it, and upgrade to EW or EI where it does not. Choosing correctly between E, EW and EI is where most of the cost on a project is decided.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
We cover Shepherds Bush and the surrounding postcode districts, including W12, W14, W11, W6, W8, W10. Nearby towns we also serve include Notting Hill, Chiswick, Fulham. We cover Shepherds Bush as part of our Greater London coverage.
Every quote in Shepherds Bush identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Shepherds Bush building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Shepherds Bush budgets are not open-ended.
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.
Sector guides below cover healthcare buildings, schools and colleges and other buildings in Shepherds Bush.
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.
Yes. We survey and install in Shepherds Bush and across Greater London, including the W12 district and nearby Notting Hill.
Survey timing in Shepherds Bush 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.
