What's involved with fire glazing surveys in Falmouth
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
- Defects prioritised by risk
- Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
- Frame type and condition notes
What you can expect in Falmouth
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Falmouth building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Falmouth budgets are not open-ended.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Falmouth identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Before you order fire glazing surveys: what matters
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.
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.
