Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →When a fire strategy, inspection report or building control comment in Portslade calls for glazing tested to resist fire, our fire glazing remedial works service covers survey, supply and installation.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We work from fire risk assessments, fire door inspection reports and our own surveys, pricing each item clearly and completing the work with photographs and a schedule you can file. Where an item cannot be fixed without evidence from a manufacturer or test body, we say so and set out the options.
Each completed item is photographed and cross-referenced to the original report so the action can be closed.
We price each defect separately so you can approve urgent items first.
Cables and pipes through glazed screens and their surrounds must be fire-stopped with products tested for that application.
Whether the building is in central Portslade or the wider BN41, BN42, BN3, BN43 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Hove, Brighton, Worthing. Brighton, around 6 km from Portslade, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Every quote in Portslade identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Portslade building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Sector guides below cover care homes, blocks of flats and other buildings in Portslade.
