Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Huntingdon

Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Huntingdon

Looking for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Huntingdon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Huntingdon and the wider Cambridgeshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Huntingdon has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, light industrial buildings and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Huntingdon we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Huntingdon can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.

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.

What you get:

• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Identification of the specified seals
• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks

What the rules say for Huntingdon

England's framework applies in Huntingdon. 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 Huntingdon, 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.
