What our fire glazing remedial works service includes in Gateshead
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.
- Frame replacement where needed
- Replacement of non-rated or damaged glass
- Fire-stopping around glazed screens
- Correct intumescent seals and glazing tapes
Before you order fire glazing remedial works: what matters

Intumescent strips painted over during redecoration can be replaced without changing the glass.
Service penetrations
Cables and pipes through glazed screens and their surrounds must be fire-stopped with products tested for that application.

We price each defect separately so you can approve urgent items first.

Fire glazing rules in England
England Which rules apply?
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.
