Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →Fire glazing remedial works in Harpenden 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.
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 price each defect separately so you can approve urgent items first.
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.
