Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Flint buildings
If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Flint, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Flint range from small offices to schools and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We check that each door in your Flint building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off. Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Flint we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
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:
- Identification of the specified seals
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Brush or blade smoke seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Flint
Because Flint 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 Flint comes from your fire risk assessment.
Buildings and duty holders in Flint
Typical settings for intumescent strips and smoke seals include blocks of flats, offices and care homes. In Flint, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Flint
Do you cover CH6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Flint including CH6, and nearby towns such as Deeside and Buckley. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Flint?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
