Fire glazing work in Dover
Fire glazing work generally falls into three groups: replacing glass in existing fire-rated frames, installing new glazed screens and doors, and fixing defects from inspections. We cover all three in Dover.
Each job starts with the classification the building's fire strategy requires: integrity (E), integrity with radiation control (EW), or integrity and insulation (EI).
Which rules apply in England?
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
