What's involved with fire glazing surveys in Bishopbriggs
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.
- Glass marks and classifications recorded
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
- Frame type and condition notes
- Costed remedial options

Scotland regulations that shape the job
Scotland Which rules apply?

For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.

Fire Glazing Surveys: Bishopbriggs questions
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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Bishopbriggs?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Bishopbriggs?
Survey timing in Bishopbriggs depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
