Broken Fire Glass Replacement in Chatham: what's included
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.
- Disposal of broken glass
- Records for your fire safety file
- Making-safe of broken panes
- New seals and beads where needed

What to check before ordering fire glass replacement in Chatham
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.
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.

England regulations that shape the job
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 Chatham
Can you replace just one pane?
Yes. Single panes can be replaced on their own, provided the replacement is compatible with the frame's evidence.
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 survey in Chatham?
Survey timing in Chatham depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you carry out fire glass replacement in Chatham?
Yes. We survey and install in Chatham and across Kent, including the ME4 district and nearby Gillingham.
