Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →For Canary Wharf buildings, we supply, replace and check fire glass replacement wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

Broken fire glass replacement is the repair of cracked, shattered or damaged fire-resistant panes with glass of a type the frame's evidence allows, refitted with the correct beads and seals. A cracked fire pane may not perform as tested, so it should be made safe and replaced promptly.
When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.
Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.
EI glass is laminated to size, so it can take longer to supply than integrity glass. We give you a realistic date.
Our Greater London coverage takes in Canary Wharf (E14, SE16, E3, E1W, E1, SE8) and the neighbouring towns of Bow, Canning Town, Greenwich. Canary Wharf is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
We can phase work in Canary Wharf around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
If an existing frame in a Canary Wharf building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Canary Wharf budgets are not open-ended.
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 glass replacement applies to many building types in Canary Wharf, including public buildings and offices.
It may not perform as tested. Treat it as a defect and arrange replacement promptly.
Lead times depend on the glass. Integrity glass is often quick to supply; insulating glass is made to size.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
