Fire doors in Newport (Isle of Wight) protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small offices and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
When a vision panel breaks in a Newport (Isle of Wight) building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. We check glazed doors in Newport (Isle of Wight) 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures

Yes. We cover Newport (Isle of Wight) including PO30, and nearby towns such as Cowes and Ryde. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Newport (Isle of Wight)?
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.
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.
