What's involved with fire glazing remedial works in Whitehaven
Fire glazing remedial works are the repairs and replacements that bring glazed fire-resisting elements back into line with their required performance: replacing unsuitable glass, refitting beads and seals, sealing service penetrations, and replacing frames that cannot be shown to be rated.
- Bead replacement and refixing
- Correct intumescent seals and glazing tapes
- Completion schedule and photographs
- Fire-stopping around glazed screens
Key checks for Whitehaven projects
Close-out
Each completed item is photographed and cross-referenced to the original report so the action can be closed.
Painted seals
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
Evidence first
Remedial glass and seals must suit the existing frame's evidence. Where that evidence is missing, we raise it before work starts.
England regulations that shape the job
