What's involved with fire glazing remedial works in Wigan

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.

  • Replacement of non-rated or damaged glass
  • Correct intumescent seals and glazing tapes
  • Frame replacement where needed
  • Bead replacement and refixing

Fire glazing rules in England

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.

FAQs for Wigan

Can you work from our fire risk assessment?

Yes. Send the report and we will price the glazing-related actions item by item.

What if the frame has no evidence?

We explain the options: obtaining evidence from the manufacturer, a formal assessment, or replacing the frame with a tested system.

Can you price fire glazing remedial works in Wigan from photos?

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Wigan?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
