Thatcham FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Thatcham?

Thatcham is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Thatcham?

How can I tell if fire door glass is fire-rated?

Fire-rated glass is usually etched or labelled with the product name and standard in a corner. Wired glass may be fire-rated but not all is. If there is no mark, the inspection records the glass as unverified.

Can I add a vision panel to an existing fire door?

Only if the door's evidence allows a panel of that size and position, and it is fitted with a matched glazing system.
