Fire Door Vision Panels
Replacement and new vision panels fitted to the door's evidence.

Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We supply and install glazed fire doorsets in timber, steel and aluminium, single and double, as stand-alone doors or within glazed screens. We match the door to the rating and duty of its position, and fit it to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
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.
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.
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Welling, including the DA16, DA6, DA7, DA15, SE2, DA5 districts, and in nearby Bexley, Eltham, Thamesmead. We cover Welling as part of our Greater London coverage.
If an existing frame in a Welling building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Welling around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Welling budgets are not open-ended.
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.
We can survey and quote for retail and leisure units, healthcare buildings and other building types in Welling.
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.
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.
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.
