Common questions in Hitchin

Which fire safety law applies in Hitchin?

Hitchin 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.

Do you cover the area around Hitchin?

Yes. As well as Hitchin itself we cover nearby towns including Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage and Luton.

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.
