What's involved with fire glazing remedial works in Chelmsford
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.
- Correct intumescent seals and glazing tapes
- Frame replacement where needed
- Fire-stopping around glazed screens
- Bead replacement and refixing
What to check before ordering fire glazing remedial works in Chelmsford
Service penetrations
Cables and pipes through glazed screens and their surrounds must be fire-stopped with products tested for that application.
Working in occupied buildings
We plan remedial programmes around residents, pupils or staff, with phasing and clear communication.
Close-out
Each completed item is photographed and cross-referenced to the original report so the action can be closed.
England regulations that shape the job
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.
