What's involved with fire glazing surveys in London

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.

  • Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
  • Defects prioritised by risk
  • Frame type and condition notes
  • Glass marks and classifications recorded

What to check before ordering fire glazing surveys in London

Fire risk assessments

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

Prioritised output

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

Higher-risk buildings

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

London coverage and nearby towns

Whether the building is in central London or the wider EC1A, EC1M, EC1N, EC1R, EC3, EC4A districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Westminster, Pimlico, Islington. London is the largest town in our Greater London coverage.

Which rules apply to fire glazing surveys in London?

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.

Building types we cover in London

Fire glazing surveys applies to many building types in London, including student accommodation and offices.

Questions about fire glazing surveys in London

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 London?

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 London?

Survey timing in London 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.
