What to check before ordering in South Glamorgan

Interim arrangements

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

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.

Why it broke

Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.

Which rules apply in Wales?

Wales Which rules apply?

Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.

Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.

FAQs for South Glamorgan

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.

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.

Do you cover all of South Glamorgan?

Yes. We take enquiries from across South Glamorgan, including Cardiff and Barry, Penarth, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
