Fire Glazing Surveys: an overview for West Glamorgan

- Glass marks and classifications recorded
- Defects prioritised by risk
- Pane-by-pane schedule with locations
What to check before ordering in West Glamorgan
Re-survey after works
We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.
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.
Wales rules for fire glazing
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.
FAQs for West Glamorgan
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.
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.
Who needs a fire glazing survey?
Building owners, managing agents, those responsible for fire safety and contractors who need to know whether glazing in fire-resisting walls and doors is suitable.
