Glazed fire doors for Crawley buildings
From the RH11 postcode district outwards, we take on glazed fire doors across Crawley for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Crawley, GP surgeries, schools and HMOs 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.
Schools, offices and care settings in Crawley often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. When a vision panel breaks in a Crawley building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match.
Why glazing is a common failure point
Vision panels are useful on corridors, classrooms and wards, but they are also where many fire doors go wrong. Ordinary glass gets swapped in after a breakage, beads are fixed with the wrong pins, glazing seals are missing, or an aperture has been cut on site with no evidence behind it. Each of these can undermine the whole door. Our fire door glazing guide covers the details.
Each installation includes:
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
What the rules say for Crawley
Fire doors in Crawley fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Crawley above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Is Crawley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Crawley in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Horley. 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.
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.
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.
