Key checks for Ilford projects

Keep routes clear

We plan installation so escape routes stay available while the building is occupied, or agree temporary arrangements with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.

Vision through doors

Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.

Inspection regimes

In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.

Ilford coverage and nearby towns

Coverage around Ilford includes the IG1, E12, IG3, IG2, IG11, IG4 districts and nearby Barking, Becontree, Leytonstone. Ilford sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Barking.

England regulations that shape the job

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.

Stair, Lobby & Corridor Glazing: Ilford questions

Can I use glass on a fire escape route?

Yes, if it is fire-rated to the required classification and, for integrity-only glass, within the limits building guidance sets for that position.

Why would a corridor need insulating glass?

Because people escaping may pass right beside the glass. Insulating glass limits the temperature rise on the escape side, so people can pass it more safely.

How quickly can you survey in Ilford?

Survey timing in Ilford depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.

Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Ilford?

Yes. We survey and install in Ilford and across Greater London, including the IG1 district and nearby Barking.
