Escape route glazing is fire-rated glass in the walls and doors of protected stairs, lobbies and corridors, the routes people rely on to leave a building safely. It has to hold back fire and smoke for the rated time, and on many routes it has to keep heat away from people passing it as well.
Every quote in Wimbledon identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
If an existing frame in a Wimbledon building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
Whether the building is in central Wimbledon or the wider SW19, SW20, SW18, SM4, SW17, SW15 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Morden, Mitcham, Putney. Wimbledon is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
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.
