How we work in Tiverton
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Tiverton budgets are not open-ended.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Before you order fire-rated glazed doors: what matters
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
Doorset, not just a door
The safest route is a complete doorset with frame and hardware tested together. Mixing a leaf from one source with a frame from another needs evidence that covers the combination.
Tiverton coverage and nearby towns
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Tiverton, including the EX16 districts, and in nearby Exeter, Taunton, Exmouth. Tiverton is about 75 km from Plymouth, the largest town in our Devon coverage.

Questions about fire-rated glazed doors in Tiverton
Can you add glass to my existing fire door?
Cutting new apertures into a fire door is only acceptable when done under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Often a new doorset is the safer answer.
What does FD30 mean on a glazed door?
FD30 is a UK shorthand for a door providing 30 minutes' fire resistance. Under European classification the same door would be described with an E or EI rating, with S added where smoke control is tested.
How quickly can you survey in Tiverton?
Survey timing in Tiverton 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 work on occupied buildings in Tiverton?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
