Glazed fire doors in Eltham, done to the evidence
From the SE9 postcode district outwards, we take on glazed fire doors across Eltham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Eltham, clinics, restaurants and purpose-built blocks of flats 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 Eltham building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. We check glazed doors in Eltham 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:
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
What the rules say for Eltham
England's framework applies in Eltham. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Eltham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Eltham, 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.

Questions from Eltham
Do you work in Eltham?
Yes, we take on glazed fire doors in Eltham and the surrounding area, including Blackheath and Welling. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Eltham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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 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.
