Getting glazed fire doors right in Nottinghamshire
Our glazed fire doors service runs throughout Nottinghamshire. Main towns include Nottingham, Mansfield and Worksop, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We check glazed doors in Nottinghamshire for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Nottinghamshire often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
Wherever your building is in Nottinghamshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Nottinghamshire
England's framework applies in Nottinghamshire. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Nottinghamshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Nottinghamshire?
Yes. We cover all of Nottinghamshire, including Nottingham and Mansfield. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
