Glazed fire doors in Dudley, done to the evidence
Our glazed fire doors service covers Dudley and the wider West Midlands area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Dudley, care homes, purpose-built flats and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We check glazed doors in Dudley for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Dudley 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
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
The regulations behind fire doors in Dudley
In Dudley, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Dudley building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Do you work in Dudley?
Yes, we take on glazed fire doors in Dudley and the surrounding area, including Brierley Hill and Tipton. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Dudley?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
