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.
Can you price fire glazing surveys in Dartford from photos?

Yes. We survey and install in Dartford and across Kent, including the DA1 district and nearby Bexley.
