What glazed fire doors in Peckham should include
From the SE15 postcode district outwards, we take on glazed fire doors across Peckham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Peckham has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, mixed-use office buildings and purpose-built blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We check glazed doors in Peckham for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Peckham often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
The regulations behind fire doors in Peckham
In Peckham, 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 Peckham 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.

Questions
Do you work in Peckham?
Yes, we take on glazed fire doors in Peckham and the surrounding area, including Brixton and Greenwich. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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.
