Glazed fire doors in Powys, done to the evidence
We provide glazed fire doors across Powys, covering 18 postcode districts from LD1 to SY22.
Schools, offices and care settings in Powys often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Powys building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
Wherever your building is in Powys, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Why glazing is a common failure point
Vision panels are useful on corridors, classrooms and wards, but they are also where many fire doors go wrong. Ordinary glass gets swapped in after a breakage, beads are fixed with the wrong pins, glazing seals are missing, or an aperture has been cut on site with no evidence behind it. Each of these can undermine the whole door. Our fire door glazing guide covers the details.
What the rules say for Powys
Fire door work in Powys follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Powys, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Common questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Powys?
Yes. We cover all of Powys. 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.
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.
