What glazed fire doors in Hastings should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hastings, we offer glazed fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Hastings, houses with integral garages, high-street shops and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
When a vision panel breaks in a Hastings building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. We check glazed doors in Hastings for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement.
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:
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
Fire door law for Hastings properties
England's framework applies in Hastings. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hastings, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Buildings and duty holders in Hastings

Questions
Do you cover TN34 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hastings including TN34, and nearby towns such as Bexhill-on-Sea and Hailsham. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
