Glazed fire doors for Swadlincote buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Swadlincote, we offer glazed fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Swadlincote protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, schools and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We check glazed doors in Swadlincote for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Swadlincote often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
Which fire door rules apply in Swadlincote?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Swadlincote are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Swadlincote block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Swadlincote
Do you work in Swadlincote?
Yes, we take on glazed fire doors in Swadlincote and the surrounding area, including Burton upon Trent and Coalville. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Swadlincote?
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.
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.
Can any toughened glass go in a fire door?
No. Fire doors need fire-rated glass of the type and size covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the matching beads and seals. Standard toughened glass is not fire resisting.
