What you can expect in Grays

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Grays identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Grays building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Key checks for Grays projects

Fire risk assessments

Surveys often follow a fire risk assessment action. We address the specific items raised.

Higher-risk buildings

In England, information about fire-resisting glazing forms part of the building's safety information. A survey helps build that record.

Prioritised output

Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.

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.

In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Fire Glazing Surveys: Grays questions

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.

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.

Do you carry out fire glazing surveys in Grays?

Yes. We survey and install in Grays and across Essex, including the RM17 district and nearby South Ockendon.

How quickly can you survey in Grays?

Survey timing in Grays 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.
