Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →Fire glazing remedial works in Caerphilly 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.
We price each defect separately so you can approve urgent items first.
Each completed item is photographed and cross-referenced to the original report so the action can be closed.
We plan remedial programmes around residents, pupils or staff, with phasing and clear communication.
We cover Caerphilly and the surrounding postcode districts, including CF83. Nearby towns we also serve include Risca, Pontypridd, Cardiff. Caerphilly is about 15 km from Newport, the largest town in our Gwent coverage.
If an existing frame in a Caerphilly building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Every quote in Caerphilly identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
Fire glazing remedial works applies to many building types in Caerphilly, including industrial units and blocks of flats.
Yes. We prioritise by risk and agree phases with you.
