Before you order in Highlands and Islands
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.
Prioritised output
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.
Re-survey after works
We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.
Which rules apply in Scotland?
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
Fire Glazing Surveys in Highlands and Islands: questions
Is a survey the same as a fire risk assessment?
No. A fire risk assessment looks at the whole premises. A fire glazing survey looks in detail at the glazed elements of the compartmentation.
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.
Do you fix what you find?
Yes. We provide costed remedial options and can carry out the work.
Do you cover all of Highlands and Islands?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Highlands and Islands, including Inverness and the surrounding area, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
