Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →For Rickmansworth buildings, we supply, replace and check fire glazing remedial works wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.
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.
Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Rickmansworth, including the WD3, HA6 districts, and in nearby Watford, Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross. Watford, around 6 km from Rickmansworth, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Rickmansworth building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Rickmansworth around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.
