Fire rated glazed screens in Darwen: questions
How quickly can you survey in Darwen?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Darwen visits with other work in Lancashire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Which rules do fire rated glazed screens in Darwen 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 Darwen?
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.
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.
