Key checks for Daventry projects
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Often overlooked
Fanlights and side panels can be missed when fire doors are upgraded, leaving ordinary glass beside a new fire door.

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.
Building types we cover in Daventry
Fire-rated fanlights and side panels applies to many building types in Daventry, including care homes and retail and leisure units.
FAQs for Daventry
Can you just replace the glass?
Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Daventry?
Survey timing in Daventry 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.
Do you carry out fire-rated fanlights and side panels in Daventry?
Yes. We survey and install in Daventry and across Northamptonshire, including the NN11 district and nearby Rugby.
