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.
We cover Crawley and the surrounding postcode districts, including RH11, RH10. Nearby towns we also serve include Horley, Horsham, East Grinstead. Crawley is the main town we cover in West Sussex.
A new aperture can invalidate a door's certification unless the manufacturer's instructions allow it. We check before cutting.
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.
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.
Every quote in Crawley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

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.
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.
Survey timing in Crawley 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.
