Glazed fire doors in Greenwich, done to the evidence
Looking for glazed fire doors in Greenwich? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Greenwich and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Greenwich protect escape routes in hotels, purpose-built blocks of flats and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We check glazed doors in Greenwich for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Greenwich often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
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
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
The regulations behind fire doors in Greenwich
England's framework applies in Greenwich. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Greenwich, 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.
Which buildings in Greenwich need glazed fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Greenwich can all commission glazed fire doors from us. The usual settings are care homes and communal corridors, though single doors for schools are just as welcome.

Common questions

How quickly can you survey in Greenwich?
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.
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.
