Getting glazed fire doors right in Grantham
If you need glazed fire doors in Grantham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Grantham has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
When a vision panel breaks in a Grantham building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. We check glazed doors in Grantham 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:
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
The regulations behind fire doors in Grantham
Fire doors in Grantham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Grantham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions
Do you cover NG31 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Grantham including NG31, and nearby towns such as Newark-on-Trent and Melton Mowbray. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Grantham 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.
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.
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.
