Fire Door Glazing in Dover

From the CT17 district outwards, we cover Dover and neighbouring towns such as Folkestone and Deal 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 Dover.

As a coastal town, Dover has many hotels, guest houses and holiday lets, where bedroom and corridor fire doors protect guests who do not know the building. Where a Dover building has had a recent fire risk assessment, send it over and we will price against its actions.

Questions from Dover clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Dover?

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

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 Dover?

Dover 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.

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.
