Glazed fire doors in Wiltshire, done to the evidence
Across Wiltshire, from Swindon to Salisbury, we survey, supply and fit glazed fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
When a vision panel breaks in a Wiltshire building, we re-glaze it to the door's original glazing system rather than a near match. We check glazed doors in Wiltshire for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement.
Wherever your building is in Wiltshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Wiltshire?
England's framework applies in Wiltshire. 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 Wiltshire, 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.

Common questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Wiltshire?
Yes. We cover all of Wiltshire, including Swindon and Salisbury. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
