Fire-rated steel screens in County Durham
Every fire-rated steel screen we fit in County Durham starts with a free survey at the property, whether that is in Barnard Castle, Durham or a village nearby.
Fitting fire-rated steel screens in County Durham
County Durham projects include stone cottages and Victorian terraces, often with a rear extension that a steel screen connects to the house.
We coordinate with your builder, kitchen fitter or decorator so the opening is ready and nothing is measured twice. Safety glass is standard in every internal pane, and we check whether fire-rated glazing is needed before anything is ordered.
We cover Durham, Darlington, Barnard Castle and Chester-le-Street, plus the villages and towns between them. Lead time is 6–10 weeks depending on system, and we confirm dates in writing when you sign off the drawings.
What we can include
- Complete tested systems: frame, glass, seals and fixings
- Doorsets complete with closers and ironmongery
- Residential protected stairs and commercial corridors
- Black or RAL powder coat within the tested finish range
A fire-rated steel screen is a glazed steel partition designed to resist the spread of fire and, depending on its rating, heat for a set period such as 30 or 60 minutes. Read the full guide to fire-rated steel screens.

Fire-rated steel screens in County Durham: questions
Are fire-rated screens much thicker?
Frames and glass are a little deeper than non-rated screens, but steel systems keep the bars slim compared with most alternatives.
When do I need a fire-rated glazed screen?
When the screen forms part of a protected escape route or a fire-separating wall, such as the stair enclosure in many three-storey houses or a commercial corridor. Your building control body or fire engineer confirms the rating needed.
Are prices higher in County Durham?
Our guide prices are the same nationally. The fixed price for your job depends on its size and specification, plus any site factors such as access or parking, which we note at survey.
