Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →Fire glazing remedial works in Wickford is usually needed for one of three reasons: new building work, a change to an existing fire-resisting wall, or defects found in an inspection. We handle all three.
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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Wickford budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Wickford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
We price each defect separately so you can approve urgent items first.
We plan remedial programmes around residents, pupils or staff, with phasing and clear communication.
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
