What our fire glazing surveys service includes in Guildford
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.
- Frame type and condition notes
- Beads, seals and fixings checked visually
- Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
- Glass marks and classifications recorded
What to check before ordering fire glazing surveys in Guildford
Re-survey after works
We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.
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.

Which rules apply to fire glazing surveys in Guildford?
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.
Sectors we cover in Guildford
We can survey and quote for industrial units, healthcare buildings and other building types in Guildford.
