Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Ayr
Looking for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Ayr? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Ayr and the wider Ayrshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Ayr, schools, small offices and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Seal replacement in Ayr can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Ayr building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
Getting the specification right
The door's certification states the type, size and position of strips and seals: in the frame or the leaf edge, single or double, and whether a combined intumescent and smoke seal is used. Replacements must match. Swapping in a generic strip from a hardware shop can undermine the door's performance.
What you get:
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Identification of the specified seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
Fire door law for Ayr properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Ayr. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Ayr are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
Who needs intumescent strips and smoke seals in Ayr?
From blocks of flats to schools, the requirement for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Ayr comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Is Ayr within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Ayr in Ayrshire and neighbouring towns such as Irvine. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Ayr?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do all fire doors need smoke seals?
Only where the door is specified for smoke control, such as FD30S doors. Many doors on escape routes and flat entrances are specified this way.
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.
