Fire Glazing Surveys
Surveys that identify what fire glazing you have and what needs fixing.
Learn more →From the OX25 district outwards, we arrange fire glazing remedial works for buildings across Bicester, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.
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.
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.
Our Oxfordshire coverage takes in Bicester (OX25, OX26, OX27, OX6) and the neighbouring towns of Oxford, Banbury, Aylesbury. Bicester lies roughly 18 km from Oxford, within our Oxfordshire coverage.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Bicester identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Bicester building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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 industrial units, public buildings and other buildings in Bicester.
Yes, before and after for every item, plus a completion schedule.
Yes. We prioritise by risk and agree phases with you.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Survey timing in Bicester 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.
