What glazed fire doors in Reigate should include
We provide glazed fire doors in Reigate (RH2 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Reigate protect escape routes in schools, care homes and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We check glazed doors in Reigate for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Reigate often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
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 you get:
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
Which fire door rules apply in Reigate?
England's framework applies in Reigate. 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 Reigate, 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.
Who needs glazed fire doors in Reigate?

In Reigate, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Do you cover RH2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Reigate including RH2, and nearby towns such as Redhill and Horley. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Reigate?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Can any toughened glass go in a fire door?
No. Fire doors need fire-rated glass of the type and size covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the matching beads and seals. Standard toughened glass is not fire resisting.
