Glazed fire doors for Northumberland buildings
Our glazed fire doors service runs throughout Northumberland. Main towns include Blyth, Cramlington and Ashington, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We check glazed doors in Northumberland for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. When a vision panel breaks in a Northumberland building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
Northumberland has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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 Northumberland
The rules that apply to fire doors in Northumberland are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Northumberland block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Glazed fire doors questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Northumberland?
Yes. We cover all of Northumberland, including Blyth and Cramlington. 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.
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.
