Before you order fire glass replacement: what matters
Interim arrangements
Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.
Read the marks
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
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.

Yes. We survey and install in Prestwich and across Greater Manchester, including the M25 district and nearby Whitefield.
How quickly can you survey in Prestwich?
