Getting glazed fire doors right in Crowthorne
Our glazed fire doors service covers Crowthorne and the wider Berkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Crowthorne protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Schools, offices and care settings in Crowthorne often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Crowthorne 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:
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
The regulations behind fire doors in Crowthorne
In Crowthorne, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Crowthorne building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions from Crowthorne
Do you cover RG45 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Crowthorne including RG45, and nearby towns such as Sandhurst and Yateley. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Crowthorne?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Are wired glass fire doors still acceptable?
Some older doors use wired glass. Whether it is acceptable depends on its fire rating and whether it meets safety glazing rules for that location. We advise case by case.
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.
