Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Camborne, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Camborne, we offer intumescent strips and smoke seals with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Camborne has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings, 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 Camborne we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Camborne 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:
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
The regulations behind fire doors in Camborne
England's framework applies in Camborne. 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 Camborne, 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.
Which buildings in Camborne need intumescent strips and smoke seals?
Typical settings for intumescent strips and smoke seals include HMOs, blocks of flats and offices. In Camborne, 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
Is Camborne within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Camborne in Cornwall and neighbouring towns such as Redruth. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Camborne?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
How long do seals last?
It depends on use and care. Seals on busy doors wear faster. Regular inspections will show when they need replacing.
