Fire Glazing Surveys in Banbury: what's included
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
- Defects prioritised by risk
- Costed remedial options
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
Before you order fire glazing surveys: what matters
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.
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.
