Glazed fire doors: our service in Littlehampton
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Littlehampton, we offer glazed fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Littlehampton, low-rise blocks of flats, 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.
When a vision panel breaks in a Littlehampton building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. We check glazed doors in Littlehampton for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement.
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
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location

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.

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 Littlehampton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Littlehampton in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Bognor Regis. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Littlehampton building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
