Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Beverley

Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Beverley

We provide intumescent strips and smoke seals in Beverley (HU17 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Around Beverley, light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Beverley we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Beverley can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.

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.

Each installation includes:

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

What the rules say for Beverley

England's framework applies in Beverley. 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 Beverley, 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.
