What to check before ordering in Leicestershire
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.
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.
Which rules apply in England?
England Which rules apply?
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.
