Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Bridlington buildings
Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service covers Bridlington and the wider East Riding of Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Bridlington protect escape routes in small offices, care homes and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Bridlington we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Bridlington 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Identification of the specified seals
Which fire door rules apply in Bridlington?
Fire doors in Bridlington fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Bridlington above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Yes. We cover Bridlington including YO16, and nearby towns such as Scarborough and Beverley. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Bridlington?
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.
Do all fire doors need smoke seals?
Only where the door is specified for smoke control, such as FD30S doors. Many doors on escape routes and flat entrances are specified this way.
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.
