Glazed fire doors: our service in Putney
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Putney, we offer glazed fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Putney, purpose-built blocks of flats, converted flats and hotels 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.
We check glazed doors in Putney for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Putney 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
What the rules say for Putney
In Putney, 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Putney sits with the London Fire Brigade.
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 Putney 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 cover SW15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Putney including SW15, and nearby towns such as Barnes and Fulham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Putney building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
