Glazed fire doors for Feltham buildings
If you need glazed fire doors in Feltham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Feltham, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Schools, offices and care settings in Feltham often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Feltham 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
Which fire door rules apply in Feltham?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Feltham 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 Feltham 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
Is Feltham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Feltham in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Hanworth. 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.
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.
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.
