Fire rated glazed screens in Gravesend: how we work
Getting fire rated glazed screens right in Gravesend means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Whether your building is in central Gravesend or on its edges towards Grays, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
What the law says in Gravesend
In Gravesend, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.
Cost of fire rated glazed screens in Kent
Budget around £1,400 to £4,500 per screen for fire rated glazed screens supplied and fitted in Gravesend, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.

Common questions in Kent
Which rules do fire rated glazed screens in Gravesend 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 Gravesend?
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.
Do you cover Gravesend?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit fire rated glazed screens throughout Gravesend and the rest of Kent, including DA11 and nearby Grays.
Steel or timber screens?
Both are available. Timber matches timber doorsets; steel suits slim sightlines and higher ratings.
