What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Dover
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
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.
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.
Dover coverage and nearby towns
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Dover, including the CT16, CT17 districts, and in nearby Folkestone, Deal, Canterbury. Maidstone, around 58 km from Dover, is the largest town in the same coverage area.

Fire glazing rules in England
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.

Questions about fire-rated glazed doors in Dover
Can a fire door be fully glazed?
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.
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 Dover?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Do you carry out fire-rated glazed doors in Dover?
Yes. We survey and install in Dover and across Kent, including the CT16 district and nearby Folkestone.
