Intumescent strips and smoke seals across Buckinghamshire

Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Buckinghamshire

Across Buckinghamshire, from Milton Keynes to High Wycombe, we survey, supply and fit intumescent strips and smoke seals for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.

We check that each door in your Buckinghamshire building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off. Seal replacement in Buckinghamshire can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.

Wherever your building is in Buckinghamshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.

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.

The regulations behind fire doors in Buckinghamshire

England's framework applies in Buckinghamshire. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Buckinghamshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
