Fire Door Glazing in Christchurch

Christchurch FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Christchurch?

Christchurch 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.

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Christchurch?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Christchurch can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
