Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →If a building in Risca needs fire glazing remedial works, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.
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.
Cables and pipes through glazed screens and their surrounds must be fire-stopped with products tested for that application.
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
We cover Risca and the surrounding postcode districts, including NP11. Nearby towns we also serve include Newport, Cwmbran, Caerphilly. Risca is about 7 km from Newport, the largest town in our Gwent coverage.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Risca budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Risca building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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 Risca, including offices and hotels.
