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.
Our Hertfordshire coverage takes in Stevenage (SG1, SG4, SG2) and the neighbouring towns of Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Welwyn Garden City. Stevenage lies roughly 31 km from Watford, within our Hertfordshire coverage.
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.
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.
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.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
