- Correct glazing seals and bead profiles
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
Key checks for Norfolk projects
Wired glass
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.
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
Plain glass in a fire door
Ordinary float or toughened glass in a fire door vision panel is a serious defect. We replace it with fire-resistant glass compatible with the door.

Regulations for Norfolk projects
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.
FAQs for Norfolk
Does a fire door need a vision panel?
Not always. Building guidance expects vision panels in doors that subdivide corridors and in double-swing doors, and accessibility guidance favours them in many circulation doors.
Can a broken fire door vision panel be replaced?
Yes. The replacement must be fire-resistant glass of a type the door's evidence allows, fitted with the correct beads and seals.
Is wired glass acceptable in a fire door?
It may provide integrity, but it often fails impact safety requirements. Replacement with modern fire glass is usually recommended.
Can you survey anywhere in Norfolk?
Yes. We can arrange surveys anywhere in Norfolk, including Norwich and Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Thetford.
