Key checks for Great Yarmouth projects
Ventilation grilles
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.
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.
England regulations that shape the job
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.
