Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Fife buildings
We provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across Fife, covering 3 towns and 16 postcode districts, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
We check that each door in your Fife building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off. Seal replacement in Fife can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.
Wherever your building is in Fife, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Fife?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Fife. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Fife are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Intumescent strips and smoke seals questions
Do you provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across Fife?
Yes. We cover all of Fife, including Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
