Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Kendal

What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Kendal should include

Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service covers Kendal and the wider Cumbria area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

In and around Kendal, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

We check that each door in your Kendal 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 Kendal 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:

• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Identification of the specified seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Removal of damaged or painted seals

Which fire door rules apply in Kendal?

In Kendal, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Kendal building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
