What our fire-rated fanlights and side panels service includes in Banbury
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.
- Complete replacement frames where needed
- Fire-rated fanlights above fire doors
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Records for your fire safety file
Before you order fire-rated fanlights and side panels: what matters
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.
Borrowed lights
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
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.

An internal window that shares daylight between rooms or with a corridor. In a fire-resisting wall it must be fire-rated.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Banbury?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
