Key checks for Hove projects
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
Escape route doors
Doors that subdivide corridors and doors that swing both ways normally need vision panels, and integrity-only glass in doors may be limited by building guidance on escape routes.
Ongoing checks
Residential blocks in England over 11 metres need regular fire door checks under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022; glazed doors are included.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazed doors in Hove?
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.

Fire-Rated Glazed Doors: Hove questions
Do glazed fire doors need special glass?
Yes. They need fire-resistant glass of the type and thickness tested, fitted with the specified beads and seals.
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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Hove?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Can you price fire-rated glazed doors in Hove from photos?
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.
