Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Winsford

Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Winsford buildings

Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service in Winsford is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Buildings in and around Winsford range from small offices to schools and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Winsford we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Winsford building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Identification of the specified seals

Fire door law for Winsford properties

England's framework applies in Winsford. 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 Winsford, 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.
