Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights in Ilkeston: what's included
These panels are common in flat entrance doors, communal corridors, schools and older buildings, and they are often found glazed with ordinary glass. We survey them, replace unsuitable glass, correct beads and seals, and supply complete rated frames where the existing frame cannot be upgraded.
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
- Glass, beads and seals to the frame evidence
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
Upgrade or replace?
If the existing frame can be shown to be suitable, new glass and seals may be enough; otherwise a complete rated frame is the reliable answer.
Flat entrance doors
In blocks of flats, the glazing around flat entrance doors forms part of the protection of the common parts and needs to match the door's performance.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Fire glazing rules in England
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.

Fanlights, Side Panels & Borrowed Lights: Ilkeston questions
Does the glass above a fire door need to be fire-rated?
If the wall or door assembly is fire-resisting, yes. Ordinary glass above or beside a fire door creates a weak point.
Can you just replace the glass?
Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.
Do you carry out fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Ilkeston?
Yes. We survey and install in Ilkeston and across Derbyshire, including the DE7 district and nearby Heanor.
How quickly can you survey in Ilkeston?
Survey timing in Ilkeston depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
