Glazed fire doors in Burgess Hill, done to the evidence
We provide glazed fire doors in Burgess Hill (RH15 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Burgess Hill protect escape routes in small offices, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Schools, offices and care settings in Burgess Hill often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. We check glazed doors in Burgess Hill for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
Which fire door rules apply in Burgess Hill?
England's framework applies in Burgess Hill. 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 Burgess Hill, 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 Burgess Hill?

Questions
Is Burgess Hill within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Burgess Hill in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Haywards Heath. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
