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.
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
Grilles or openings in fanlights must be fire-rated or removed if the wall is fire-resisting.
Internal windows between rooms and corridors are a frequent survey finding in older offices and schools.
Whether the building is in central Leatherhead or the wider KT22, KT21, KT23, KT18 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Epsom, Ewell, Esher. Woking, around 16 km from Leatherhead, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Leatherhead around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.
Fire-rated fanlights and side panels applies to many building types in Leatherhead, including offices and public buildings.

If the wall or door assembly is fire-resisting, yes. Ordinary glass above or beside a fire door creates a weak point.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
