Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →When a fire strategy, inspection report or building control comment in Hythe calls for glazing tested to resist fire, our fire glazing remedial works service covers survey, supply and installation.
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.
Every quote in Hythe identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Hythe around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Cables and pipes through glazed screens and their surrounds must be fire-stopped with products tested for that application.
Remedial glass and seals must suit the existing frame's evidence. Where that evidence is missing, we raise it before work starts.
We plan remedial programmes around residents, pupils or staff, with phasing and clear communication.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Hythe, including the SO45, SO19 districts, and in nearby Southampton, Totton, Eastleigh. Southampton, around 5 km from Hythe, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Fire glazing remedial works applies to many building types in Hythe, including schools and colleges and hotels.
