Glazed fire doors: our service in West Glamorgan
For glazed fire doors anywhere in West Glamorgan, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Swansea, Neath, Briton Ferry and the rest of the county.
We check glazed doors in West Glamorgan for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. When a vision panel breaks in a West Glamorgan building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
West Glamorgan 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.
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 West Glamorgan
Because West Glamorgan is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in West Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across West Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of West Glamorgan, including Swansea and Neath. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
