Looking for glazed fire doors in Maesteg? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Maesteg and the wider Mid Glamorgan area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Maesteg protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Schools, offices and care settings in Maesteg often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. We check glazed doors in Maesteg 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
Rules and responsibilities in Maesteg
Maesteg is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions
Do you work in Maesteg?
Yes, we take on glazed fire doors in Maesteg and the surrounding area, including Briton Ferry and Neath. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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 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.
