Wired Glass Replacement
Replace old Georgian wired glass with modern fire glass.
Learn more →We provide fire door vision panels in Finchley and across Greater London, working from the classification your building needs and handing over the evidence that proves what was fitted.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We replace broken, missing and non-compliant vision panels, upgrade old wired glass, and correct beads and seals that have been fitted wrongly. Where a new vision panel is needed, we only cut it in where the door manufacturer or certification scheme allows it.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Finchley budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Finchley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Old wired glass often provides integrity but not impact safety. Upgrading to modern fire glass with an impact classification removes a common risk in schools and corridors.
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
We cover Finchley and the surrounding postcode districts, including N3, NW4, N12, NW7, NW11, N2. Nearby towns we also serve include Muswell Hill, Cricklewood, Kilburn. Finchley sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Muswell Hill.
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.
We can survey and quote for offices, retail and leisure units and other building types in Finchley.
Yes. The replacement must be fire-resistant glass of a type the door's evidence allows, fitted with the correct beads and seals.
It may provide integrity, but it often fails impact safety requirements. Replacement with modern fire glass is usually recommended.
