Fire Door Vision Panels
Replacement and new vision panels fitted to the door's evidence.
Learn more →If a building in Peckham needs fire-rated glazed doors, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.

A fire-rated glazed door is a fire door with substantial glass in it, from a large vision panel to a fully glazed leaf, supplied as a tested doorset or to a certificated specification. The glass, beads, seals, frame, hinges, closer and lock all form part of the rating.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Every quote in Peckham identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Peckham building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
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.
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
Whether the building is in central Peckham or the wider SE15, SE5, SE22, SE14, SE17, SE4 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Brixton, Greenwich, Catford. Peckham is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
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.
Sector guides below cover offices, retail and leisure units and other buildings in Peckham.
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.
Yes, some steel, aluminium and timber doorsets are tested with large or full-height glazing. The glass must be the type and size in the evidence.
Survey timing in Peckham 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.
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.
