Key checks for Exmouth projects
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.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.

FAQs for Exmouth
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 Exmouth?
Yes. We survey and install in Exmouth and across Devon, including the EX8 district and nearby Exeter.
How quickly can you survey in Exmouth?
Survey timing in Exmouth 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.
