Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Bournemouth

Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in Bournemouth

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

Bournemouth has a broad mix of buildings, including converted period houses, GP surgeries and offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Seal replacement in Bournemouth can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Bournemouth building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.

Getting the specification right

The door's certification states the type, size and position of strips and seals: in the frame or the leaf edge, single or double, and whether a combined intumescent and smoke seal is used. Replacements must match. Swapping in a generic strip from a hardware shop can undermine the door's performance.

As standard, the work covers:

• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Identification of the specified seals
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge

The regulations behind fire doors in Bournemouth

In Bournemouth, 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 Bournemouth 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.
