Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →If a building in Paignton needs fire glazing remedial works, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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.
Our Devon coverage takes in Paignton (TQ3, TQ4, TQ2) and the neighbouring towns of Torquay, Newton Abbot, Exmouth. Paignton is about 41 km from Plymouth, the largest town in our Devon coverage.
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
Remedial glass and seals must suit the existing frame's evidence. Where that evidence is missing, we raise it before work starts.
Each completed item is photographed and cross-referenced to the original report so the action can be closed.
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.
