Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Mangotsfield: what's involved
When you book intumescent strips and smoke seals in Mangotsfield, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Mangotsfield range from family homes after loft conversions to small offices and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Seal replacement in Mangotsfield can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Mangotsfield 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Identification of the specified seals
Fire door law for Mangotsfield properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Mangotsfield are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Mangotsfield block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you work in Mangotsfield?
Yes, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals in Mangotsfield and the surrounding area, including Kingswood and Bristol. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Mangotsfield building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
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.
