What our fire door vision panels service includes in Caterham
A fire door vision panel is the glazed opening in a fire door that lets people see through it. It is part of the door's fire rating: the glass, beads, glazing seals and the size and position of the opening all have to match the door's test or certification evidence.
- Bead fixing to the door evidence
- Photographic records for your fire door log
- Wired glass to modern fire glass upgrades
- Vision panel kits from the door manufacturer where available

What to check before ordering fire door vision panels in Caterham
Records
We photograph each panel before and after and note the glass marks, so your fire door records stay complete.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
The commonest fault
Missing or wrong glazing seals and loose beads are among the most frequent defects found in fire door inspections. They are quick to fix properly once the door's specification is known.

Questions about fire door vision panels in Caterham
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 I cut a vision panel into a fire door?
Only under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Otherwise the door's rating may no longer be valid.
How quickly can you survey in Caterham?
Survey timing in Caterham 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.
Can you price fire door vision panels in Caterham from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
