Fire rated glazed screens in Portslade: how we work
We fit fire-rated glazed screens and fanlights in Portslade and the rest of East Sussex. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Where possible we combine Portslade surveys with other visits in East Sussex, such as Hove and Brighton, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Portslade
Fire doors in Portslade sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.

Your questions answered
How quickly can you survey in Portslade?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Portslade visits with other work in East Sussex. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you fit just one door in Portslade?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in East Sussex.
Do you cover Portslade?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit fire rated glazed screens throughout Portslade and the rest of East Sussex, including BN41 and nearby Hove.
Does a fanlight above a fire door need to be fire-rated?
Yes, if it is part of the fire-resisting wall or door assembly. Ordinary glass above a fire door defeats the door.
