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.
Surveys often follow a fire risk assessment action. We address the specific items raised.
In England, information about fire-resisting glazing forms part of the building's safety information. A survey helps build that record.
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.
We cover Leatherhead and the surrounding postcode districts, including KT22, KT21, KT23, KT18. Nearby towns we also serve include Epsom, Ewell, Esher. Woking, around 16 km from Leatherhead, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Every quote in Leatherhead identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
Sector guides below cover hotels, schools and colleges and other buildings in Leatherhead.
No. A fire risk assessment looks at the whole premises. A fire glazing survey looks in detail at the glazed elements of the compartmentation.
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.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
