Fire Door Glazing in South Ockendon

From the RM15 district outwards, we cover South Ockendon and neighbouring towns such as Grays and Hornchurch 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 South Ockendon.

South Ockendon FAQs

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in South Ockendon?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. South Ockendon is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those 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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in South Ockendon?

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.
