Fire Glazing Surveys in Derby: what's included

- Defects prioritised by risk
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
- Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
- Frame type and condition notes

Questions about fire glazing surveys in Derby
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.
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 work on occupied buildings in Derby?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Do you carry out fire glazing surveys in Derby?
Yes. We survey and install in Derby and across Derbyshire, including the DE1 district and nearby Belper.
