Before you order in Powys
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.
Which rules apply in Wales?
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.

Questions from Powys clients
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.
Do you fix what you find?
Yes. We provide costed remedial options and can carry out the work.
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.
Which parts of Powys do you cover?
All of it: Newtown, Brecon, Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells, Ystradgynlais and every district in the LD, SY, SA, NP postcode areas.
