Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Buckley buildings

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

Buckley has a broad mix of buildings, including industrial estates, HMOs and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Seal replacement in Buckley can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Buckley 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Identification of the specified seals
• Brush or blade smoke seals

Which fire door rules apply in Buckley?

Because Buckley is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.

England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Buckley comes from your fire risk assessment.
