What our fire-rated fanlights and side panels service includes in Newcastle upon Tyne
Fanlights, side panels and borrowed lights are the glazed panels above and beside doors, or set into internal walls to share daylight between rooms. Where the wall or door around them is fire-resisting, the glazing must be fire-rated too, or it becomes the weak point.

- Records for your fire safety file
- Glazed side panels beside fire doors
- Borrowed lights in fire-resisting walls
Key checks for Newcastle upon Tyne projects
Impact safety
Side panels near doors fall in critical locations for impact safety, so the fire glass must also have the right impact classification.
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.
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.

Does the glass above a fire door need to be fire-rated?

Can you just replace the glass?
Sometimes, if the existing frame is suitable. We check the frame before recommending glass-only replacement.

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.
How quickly can you survey in Newcastle upon Tyne?
