What's involved with fire glazing surveys in Norwich
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
- Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
- Frame type and condition notes
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
Key checks for Norwich projects
Re-survey after works
We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.
Higher-risk buildings
In England, information about fire-resisting glazing forms part of the building's safety information. A survey helps build that record.
Prioritised output
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.

How we work in Norwich
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Norwich identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Norwich building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Norwich around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
England regulations that shape the job
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.
Building types we cover in Norwich

FAQs for Norwich
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.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Norwich?
Survey timing in Norwich depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Norwich?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
