What our fire glazing surveys service includes in Tayside
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.
- Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
- Defects prioritised by risk
- Glass marks and classifications recorded
Before you order in Tayside
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.
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.
Prioritised output
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.

Scotland rules for fire glazing
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Questions from Tayside 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.
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.
How long does a survey take?
It depends on the number of glazed elements and access. Most single buildings are surveyed in a day or less.
Can you survey anywhere in Tayside?
Yes. We can arrange surveys anywhere in Tayside, including Dundee and Perth, Arbroath.
