Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Ayrshire
For intumescent strips and smoke seals anywhere in Ayrshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Kilmarnock, Ayr, Irvine and the rest of the county.
We check that each door in your Ayrshire building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off. Seal replacement in Ayrshire can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Ayrshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Pads, linings and hidden protection
Fire doors also rely on intumescent material you cannot see: pads behind hinges, linings around lock bodies and glazing seals. Where these are missing or damaged, we fit the correct items as part of the work.
Fire door law for Ayrshire properties
In Ayrshire, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Questions
Do you provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across Ayrshire?
Yes. We cover all of Ayrshire, including Kilmarnock and Ayr. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
