Glazed fire doors for Fareham buildings
Our glazed fire doors service in Fareham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Fareham protect escape routes in schools, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
When a vision panel breaks in a Fareham building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. We check glazed doors in Fareham for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement.
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.
What you get:
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
Which fire door rules apply in Fareham?
In Fareham, 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.
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 Fareham 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Fareham
Typical settings for glazed fire doors include schools, offices and care homes. In Fareham, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Is Fareham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Fareham in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Gosport. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Fareham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
