Fire Glazing Surveys
A fire glazing survey is a non-destructive inspection of the glazed screens, doors, panels and windows in fire-resisting walls, recording what glass and frames are installed, whether they appear consistent with the required rating, and what defects need putting right.

What does our fire glazing surveys service include?
Surveys help building owners, managing agents and those responsible for fire safety understand their compartmentation, prepare for building control scrutiny, and plan remedial budgets. We produce a clear schedule with photographs, priorities and costed remedial options.
- Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
- Glass marks and classifications recorded
- Frame type and condition notes
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
- Defects prioritised by risk
- Costed remedial options
What should you check before ordering?
What a survey can and cannot show
A visual survey records marks, materials and visible defects. It cannot prove a frame's rating without evidence, so we flag unknowns clearly rather than guessing.
Common findings
Unmarked or ordinary glass in fire-resisting walls, missing seals, painted-over intumescent strips, wrong beads and unsealed service holes are frequent findings.
Fire risk assessments
Surveys often follow a fire risk assessment action. We address the specific items raised.
Higher-risk buildings
In England, information about fire-resisting glazing forms part of the building's safety information. A survey helps build that record.
Prioritised output
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.
Re-survey after works
We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.
What evidence do you get?
- Survey report with photographs
- Glazing schedule spreadsheet
- Prioritised defect list
- Costed remedial proposal
Guide prices for fire glazing surveys
Surveys from £295 per visit, depending on building size, excluding VAT. Prices depend on the rating, pane sizes, frame system, access and programme. Use the guide price tool for a range, or see all guide prices.
Frequently asked questions
Who needs a fire glazing survey?
Building owners, managing agents, those responsible for fire safety and contractors who need to know whether glazing in fire-resisting walls and doors is suitable.
Is a survey the same as a fire risk assessment?
No. A fire risk assessment looks at the whole premises. A fire glazing survey looks in detail at the glazed elements of the compartmentation.
Can a survey confirm my glazing is compliant?
It can confirm what is visible and recorded, and identify defects. Proving a rating may need manufacturer evidence or an assessment from a test body.
How long does a survey take?
It depends on the number of glazed elements and access. Most single buildings are surveyed in a day or less.
Do you fix what you find?
Yes. We provide costed remedial options and can carry out the work.
