What glazed fire doors in Coleraine should include
We provide glazed fire doors in Coleraine (BT52 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Coleraine, fire door work covers everything from care homes to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Schools, offices and care settings in Coleraine often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Coleraine building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
New glazed doors or re-glazing?
Where a door already has a certified aperture, it can usually be re-glazed with the specified glass and system after damage. Cutting a new vision panel into an existing fire door is a different matter: it is only acceptable if the door's certification covers that aperture size and position. In most cases a new glazed doorset is the right answer.
What you get:
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures

Common questions
Is Coleraine within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Coleraine in County Londonderry and neighbouring towns such as Ballymena. 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.
