Glazed fire doors in Castlereagh, done to the evidence
When you book glazed fire doors in Castlereagh, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Castlereagh has a broad mix of buildings, including industrial estates, family homes after loft conversions and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Schools, offices and care settings in Castlereagh often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Castlereagh building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
Safety and visibility
Glass in doors also has to meet safety glazing rules, so the fire-rated glass chosen needs to be suitable for impact as well. For schools and care settings we also consider where the panel sits so that children or wheelchair users can see through it.
What you get:
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
Rules and responsibilities in Castlereagh
Castlereagh is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Castlereagh are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions
Is Castlereagh within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Castlereagh in Belfast and neighbouring towns such as Belfast. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
What happens if the glass in a fire door breaks?
It should be re-glazed with the same fire-rated glass and glazing system as the original. A temporary board or standard glass leaves the door non-compliant.
Can you add a vision panel to my existing fire door?
Only if the door's certification allows an aperture of that size and position. Most existing doors cannot be modified this way, so a new glazed doorset is usually needed.
