Our Chatham supply and fit service
We fit fire-rated glazed screens and fanlights in Chatham and the rest of Kent. 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 Chatham surveys with other visits in Kent, such as Rochester and Gillingham, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Chatham
Fire doors in Chatham 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.
Cost of fire rated glazed screens in Kent
Expect roughly £1,400–£4,500 per screen for fire rated glazed screens, fitted, ex VAT. Your Chatham quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
Where fire rated glazed screens are needed
In Chatham, fire rated glazed screens are typically needed in corridor borrowed lights and reception and lobby screens.

Your questions answered
How quickly can you survey in Chatham?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Chatham visits with other work in Kent. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you fit just one door in Chatham?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Kent.
What does a Chatham quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
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.
