What glazed fire doors in Cricklewood should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cricklewood, we offer glazed fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Cricklewood has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, student accommodation and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
When a vision panel breaks in a Cricklewood building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. We check glazed doors in Cricklewood 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
The regulations behind fire doors in Cricklewood
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cricklewood 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Cricklewood 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
Do you cover NW2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cricklewood including NW2, and nearby towns such as Kilburn and Willesden. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Cricklewood?
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 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.
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.
