Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.

Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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.
Remedial glass and seals must suit the existing frame's evidence. Where that evidence is missing, we raise it before work starts.
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
We plan remedial programmes around residents, pupils or staff, with phasing and clear communication.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Winchester, including the SO23, SO25, SO22, SO21 districts, and in nearby Eastleigh, Southampton, Totton. Winchester lies roughly 19 km from Southampton, within our Hampshire coverage.
We can phase work in Winchester around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
If an existing frame in a Winchester building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sector guides below cover offices, retail and leisure units and other buildings in Winchester.

Survey timing in Winchester depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
