- Frame type and condition notes
- Costed remedial options
- Defects prioritised by risk
- Glass marks and classifications recorded
How we work in Fareham
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Fareham identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Fareham budgets are not open-ended.
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.
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.
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.
