Key checks for Heywood projects
Fire risk assessments
Surveys often follow a fire risk assessment action. We address the specific items raised.
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.
Higher-risk buildings
In England, information about fire-resisting glazing forms part of the building's safety information. A survey helps build that record.
Heywood coverage and nearby towns
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Heywood, including the OL10, OL11, M24 districts, and in nearby Middleton, Rochdale, Bury. Heywood is about 12 km from Manchester, the largest town in our Greater Manchester coverage.
What you can expect in Heywood
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Heywood budgets are not open-ended.
England regulations that shape the job
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.
