Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Croydon

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Croydon, done to the evidence

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

In and around Croydon, fire door work covers everything from clinics to mixed-use office buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

We check that each door in your Croydon building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off. Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Croydon we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.

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:

• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Removal of damaged or painted seals

Fire door law for Croydon properties

England's framework applies in Croydon. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Croydon sits with the London Fire Brigade.

For blocks over 11 metres in Croydon, 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.

Which buildings in Croydon need intumescent strips and smoke seals?
