What our wired glass replacement service includes in Dagenham

Wired glass replacement means removing old Georgian or polished wired glass from doors, screens and panels and fitting modern fire-resistant glass that keeps the fire rating while meeting today's impact safety expectations. Wired glass holds together in a fire because of the mesh, but plain wired glass usually lacks an impact safety classification and can cause serious injuries when broken by impact.

  • Frame suitability checks
  • Impact-classified products for critical locations
  • New beads and seals to the frame evidence
  • Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings

Before you order wired glass replacement: what matters

Fire rating

Wired glass generally provides integrity only. Replacing it lets you keep or improve the fire performance while adding impact safety.

Phasing

We can replace wired glass over holidays, weekends or zone by zone to keep the building running.

Clear views

Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.

Which rules apply to wired glass replacement in Dagenham?

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.
