How we work in Guildford
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Guildford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Guildford budgets are not open-ended.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Before you order integrity fire glass: what matters
Limits on escape routes
Building guidance restricts how much integrity-only glass can be used on protected escape routes and where it can sit. Check the route before choosing E glass.
Cost advantage
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
Where integrity glass fits
Integrity-only glass may be acceptable in some fire-resisting partitions, screens and doors, often at high level, within the limits national guidance sets. Compartment walls normally need insulating (EI) glazing.

Whether the building is in central Guildford or the wider GU1, GU2, GU4 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Godalming, Woking, Aldershot. Guildford is about 9 km from Woking, the largest town in our Surrey coverage.

England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
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.
Sectors we cover in Guildford
Integrity fire glass applies to many building types in Guildford, including industrial units and offices.
Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW): Guildford questions
Is integrity glass allowed on escape routes?
In limited amounts and positions. Building guidance sets the rules; insulating glass is used where those limits are exceeded.
Is integrity glass cheaper?
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
How quickly can you survey in Guildford?
Survey timing in Guildford 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Guildford?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
