What our fire glazing surveys service includes in Gwynedd
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.
- Glass marks and classifications recorded
- Defects prioritised by risk
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
Key checks for Gwynedd projects
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.
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.
Wales rules for fire glazing
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Questions from Gwynedd clients
Who needs a fire glazing survey?
Building owners, managing agents, those responsible for fire safety and contractors who need to know whether glazing in fire-resisting walls and doors is suitable.
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 cover all of Gwynedd?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Gwynedd, including Bangor and Caernarfon, Holyhead, Pwllheli, Llangefni, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
