What's involved with fire glazing surveys in Ashington
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.
- Defects prioritised by risk
- Frame type and condition notes
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
- Costed remedial options
What to check before ordering fire glazing surveys in Ashington
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.
Re-survey after works
We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.
