Fire Door Glazing in Durham

From the DH1 district outwards, we cover Durham and neighbouring towns such as Chester-le-Street and Houghton-Le-Spring for fire door glazing repairs.

Fire door glazing is the fire-resisting glass, beads and glazing seals in a glazed fire door or vision panel. The whole glazing system, not just the glass, must match what the door was tested with. We use the same method for buildings in Durham.

Questions from Durham clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Durham?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

What is the difference between integrity and insulation glass?

Integrity glass stops flames and smoke but allows heat through. Insulating glass also limits heat transfer, which matters where people or materials are close to the door.

Can I reuse the existing beads?

Only if they are the correct fire-rated type, undamaged and suit the new glass. Often they are replaced as part of the system.

Which fire safety law applies in Durham?

Durham 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.
