What our fire glass replacement service includes in Wigan

Key checks for Wigan projects
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
Interim arrangements
Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.
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.
Which rules apply to fire glass replacement in Wigan?
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.

FAQs for Wigan
How do I know what fire glass I have?
Look for an etched or printed mark in a corner of the pane. Send us a photo with the approximate size.
How quickly can you come out?
Lead times depend on the glass. Integrity glass is often quick to supply; insulating glass is made to size.
Do you carry out fire glass replacement in Wigan?
Yes. We survey and install in Wigan and across Greater Manchester, including the WN1 district and nearby Hindley.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Wigan?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
