Fire Glazing Remedial Works in Portsmouth: what's included
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.
- Bead replacement and refixing
- Completion schedule and photographs
- Replacement of non-rated or damaged glass
- Correct intumescent seals and glazing tapes
What to check before ordering fire glazing remedial works in Portsmouth
Painted seals
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
Service penetrations
Cables and pipes through glazed screens and their surrounds must be fire-stopped with products tested for that application.
Evidence first
Remedial glass and seals must suit the existing frame's evidence. Where that evidence is missing, we raise it before work starts.
