What every Chichester quote includes
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Chichester identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Chichester building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Key checks for Chichester projects
Cutting new panels
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
Inspection follow-up
If your fire door inspection report lists vision panel defects, send it to us and we will quote item by item.
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.

Fire glazing rules in England
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.

Fire Door Vision Panels: Chichester questions
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.
How quickly can you replace a panel?
Once we know the door type and glass size, standard integrity panes can often be supplied quickly; insulating glass may take longer to cut to size.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Chichester?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Can you price fire door vision panels in Chichester 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.
