Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →If a building in Whitstable needs fire glazing remedial works, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.
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.
Whether the building is in central Whitstable or the wider CT5 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Herne Bay, Canterbury, Faversham. Whitstable lies roughly 37 km from Maidstone, within our Kent coverage.
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.
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. 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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
