What's involved with fire glazing surveys in Hazel Grove

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.

  • Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
  • Frame type and condition notes
  • Glass marks and classifications recorded
  • Defects prioritised by risk

What every Hazel Grove quote includes

Work around occupied buildings

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

England rules applied

Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Before you order fire glazing surveys: what matters

Re-survey after works

We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.

What a survey can and cannot show

A visual survey records marks, materials and visible defects. It cannot prove a frame's rating without evidence, so we flag unknowns clearly rather than guessing.

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.

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.
