Glazed fire doors: our service in Farnham
If you need glazed fire doors in Farnham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Farnham protect escape routes in care homes, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We check glazed doors in Farnham for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Farnham often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
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.
What you get:
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
Rules and responsibilities in Farnham
The rules that apply to fire doors in Farnham 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 Farnham 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.
Which buildings in Farnham need glazed fire doors?
The need for glazed fire doors usually arises in clinics or schools, and sometimes communal corridors. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Farnham to keep escape routes protected throughout.

- Confirm glass type, size and impact requirements

Common questions
Is Farnham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Farnham in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Aldershot. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Farnham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
