Broken Fire Glass Replacement in Torquay: what's included

- New seals and beads where needed
- Records for your fire safety file

Key checks for Torquay projects
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
Make it safe first
A broken pane can be a cut hazard and a gap in compartmentation. We can make it safe on the first visit while the replacement is cut.
Discontinued products
When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.
