What our wired glass replacement service includes in Wallasey
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
- Phased replacement plans for occupied buildings
- Survey of existing wired glazing
- New beads and seals to the frame evidence
Before you order wired glass replacement: what matters
Frame checks
Old frames may not have evidence for modern fire glass. We assess them and recommend frame replacement where the evidence cannot be established.
Clear views
Modern fire glass is clear, so replacements also improve visibility and appearance.
Why replace it
Wired glass breaks into sharp pieces held by wire, and the wire weakens the glass. In doors and low-level panels it is a common source of hand and arm injuries.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

Wired Glass Replacement: Wallasey questions
Is Georgian wired glass fire-rated?
It can provide integrity in the right frame, typically for 30 minutes and sometimes longer in tested systems, but it does not insulate, and plain wired glass usually lacks an impact safety classification.
What replaces wired glass?
Clear modern integrity or insulating fire glass with an impact classification, compatible with the frame.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Wallasey?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Wallasey?
Survey timing in Wallasey 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.
