What our fire glass replacement service includes in Norwich

How we work in Norwich

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Norwich budgets are not open-ended.

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Norwich building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

Before you order fire glass replacement: what matters

Read the marks

Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.

Make it safe first

A broken pane can be a cut hazard and a gap in compartmentation. We can make it safe on the first visit while the replacement is cut.

Interim arrangements

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

Norwich coverage and nearby towns

Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Norwich, including the NR2, NR3, NR1, NR7, NR4, NR6 districts, and in nearby Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Thetford. Norwich is the main town we cover in Norfolk.

Which rules apply to fire glass replacement in Norwich?

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.
