What our fire glazing surveys service includes in Newbury
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.
- Costed remedial options
- Glass marks and classifications recorded
- Frame type and condition notes
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
Before you order fire glazing surveys: what matters
Higher-risk buildings
In England, information about fire-resisting glazing forms part of the building's safety information. A survey helps build that record.
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.
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.
