Glazed fire doors for Farnborough buildings
Our glazed fire doors service covers Farnborough and the wider Hampshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Farnborough, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Schools, offices and care settings in Farnborough often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Farnborough building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
New glazed doors or re-glazing?
Where a door already has a certified aperture, it can usually be re-glazed with the specified glass and system after damage. Cutting a new vision panel into an existing fire door is a different matter: it is only acceptable if the door's certification covers that aperture size and position. In most cases a new glazed doorset is the right answer.
As standard, the work covers:
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
Fire door law for Farnborough properties
In Farnborough, 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 Farnborough 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.
Where glazed fire doors fit in Farnborough
Typical settings for glazed fire doors include clinics, schools and offices. In Farnborough, 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
Do you cover GU14 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Farnborough including GU14, and nearby towns such as Camberley and Aldershot. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Farnborough?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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 you add a vision panel to my existing fire door?
Only if the door's certification allows an aperture of that size and position. Most existing doors cannot be modified this way, so a new glazed doorset is usually needed.
