Glazed fire doors: our service in Norfolk
We provide glazed fire doors across Norfolk, covering 4 towns and 45 postcode districts, including Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn.
We check glazed doors in Norfolk for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Norfolk often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Norfolk can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
What the rules say for Norfolk
Fire doors in Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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 provide glazed fire doors across Norfolk?
Yes. We cover all of Norfolk, including Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
