Glazed fire doors: our service in Welling
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Welling, we offer glazed fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Welling has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built blocks of flats, student accommodation and clinics, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Schools, offices and care settings in Welling often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Welling building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
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:
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
Fire door law for Welling properties
In Welling, 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 Welling 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 Welling 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
Is Welling within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Welling in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Bexley. 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.
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.
