Fire Glazing Remedial Works
Putting right the defects found in surveys and fire risk assessments.
Learn more →Fire glazing surveys in Leigh is usually needed for one of three reasons: new building work, a change to an existing fire-resisting wall, or defects found in an inspection. We handle all three.

Surveys help building owners, managing agents and those responsible for fire safety understand their compartmentation, prepare for building control scrutiny, and plan remedial budgets. We produce a clear schedule with photographs, priorities and costed remedial options.
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.
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.
In England, information about fire-resisting glazing forms part of the building's safety information. A survey helps build that record.
Coverage around Leigh includes the WN7, M46, M29 districts and nearby Atherton, Tyldesley, Golborne. Leigh is about 19 km from Manchester, the largest town in our Greater Manchester coverage.

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