Glazed fire doors in Mitcham, done to the evidence
If you need glazed fire doors in Mitcham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Mitcham protect escape routes in student accommodation, schools and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We check glazed doors in Mitcham for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Mitcham often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
Why glazing is a common failure point
Vision panels are useful on corridors, classrooms and wards, but they are also where many fire doors go wrong. Ordinary glass gets swapped in after a breakage, beads are fixed with the wrong pins, glazing seals are missing, or an aperture has been cut on site with no evidence behind it. Each of these can undermine the whole door. Our fire door glazing guide covers the details.
Each installation includes:
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
What the rules say for Mitcham
In Mitcham, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Mitcham building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Do you cover CR4 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Mitcham including CR4, and nearby towns such as Morden and Wimbledon. 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.
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.
