Fire Glazing Surveys in Purley: what's included

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.

  • Costed remedial options
  • Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
  • Defects prioritised by risk
  • Glass marks and classifications recorded

What you can expect in Purley

Honest about unknowns

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

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Purley budgets are not open-ended.

Work around occupied buildings

We can phase work in Purley around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.

Before you order fire glazing surveys: what matters

Common findings

Unmarked or ordinary glass in fire-resisting walls, missing seals, painted-over intumescent strips, wrong beads and unsealed service holes are frequent findings.

Prioritised output

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

Fire risk assessments

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

Which rules apply to fire glazing surveys in Purley?

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.

Questions about fire glazing surveys in Purley

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.

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 Purley?

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 Purley?

Survey timing in Purley 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.
