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

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.
We price each defect separately so you can approve urgent items first.
Each completed item is photographed and cross-referenced to the original report so the action can be closed.
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Hoddesdon, including the EN11, EN10, SG13, CM19 districts, and in nearby Hertford, Cheshunt, Waltham Abbey. Hoddesdon is about 29 km from Watford, the largest town in our Hertfordshire coverage.
We can phase work in Hoddesdon around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
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.
Sector guides below cover schools and colleges, care homes and other buildings in Hoddesdon.
