What's involved with fire glass replacement in London

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.

Key checks for London projects

Interim arrangements

Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.

Discontinued products

When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.

Insulating glass lead times

EI glass is laminated to size, so it can take longer to supply than integrity glass. We give you a realistic date.

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.
