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.
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.
We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.
Surveys often follow a fire risk assessment action. We address the specific items raised.
Our Cornwall coverage takes in Truro (TR1) and the neighbouring towns of Falmouth, Redruth, Newquay. Truro is the largest town in our Cornwall coverage.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Truro around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Truro budgets are not open-ended.

We can survey and quote for blocks of flats, industrial units and other building types in Truro.
