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

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.
Coverage around Washington includes the NE37, NE38 districts and nearby Chester-le-Street, Felling, Houghton-le-Spring. Washington lies roughly 10 km from Newcastle upon Tyne, within our Tyne and Wear coverage.
Remedial glass and seals must suit the existing frame's evidence. Where that evidence is missing, we raise it before work starts.
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.
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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Washington around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
If an existing frame in a Washington building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can survey and quote for retail and leisure units, healthcare buildings and other building types in Washington.
Yes. Send the report and we will price the glazing-related actions item by item.
Yes, before and after for every item, plus a completion schedule.
Survey timing in Washington 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.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
