Commercial Glazing Inspections
We undertake glazing inspections that help property owners and facility managers maintain safe, compliant glazing systems and identify potential hazards.
Why Undertake A Glazing Inspection?
A glazing inspection can spot an issue before an accident occurs and it becomes a hazard. Beyond that, there are four key reasons to undertake an independent glazing inspection:
1. Safety Compliance: Ensuring your glazing meets current building regulations and standards.
2. Insurance Requirements: Insurers can sometimes require a documented glazing safety assessment.
3. Legal Protection: Demonstration of duty of care and regulatory compliance.
4. Asset Preservation: Detect deterioration early to avoid costly emergency replacements later.
What We Inspect
Safety Glazing Compliance: Verification against BS 6262 and Building Regulations Part N.
Glass Condition: We check for cracks, chips and scratches to your glazing.
Manifestation: We look for markings on critical locations.
Structural Integrity: We inspect frame conditions, fixings and load-bearing capacity
Seals and weatherproofing: We look for air leakage and water ingress.
Security: We assess any laminated, toughened or security glazing.
Thermal performance: We check for double glazing seal failure and condensation issues.
Our Inspection Process
Our glazing inspections follow a five step process:
1. Initial Consultation: We answer any questions, discuss your property, learn of any particular concerns and schedule a convenient inspection time.
2. Site Assessment: We conduct an on site evaluation, documenting findings with photography.
3. Risk Analysis: We assess each issue, categorise risks by severity and make recommendations.
4. Reporting: You receive a written report including all photographic evidence, risk categories and recommendations.
5. Support: We are always on hand to discuss findings, answer questions and provide quotations for recommended works.
