Fire rated glazed screens in Hertford: how we work
We fit fire-rated glazed screens and fanlights in Hertford and the rest of Hertfordshire. 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.
Our Hertfordshire coverage includes Hertford and its neighbours Hoddesdon, Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield; tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.

Your questions answered
Which rules do fire rated glazed screens in Hertford need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Hertford?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Can you fit just one door in Hertford?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Hertfordshire.
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.
