Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Enfield Town, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Enfield Town, we offer intumescent strips and smoke seals with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Enfield Town, fire door work covers everything from student accommodation to mixed-use office buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We check that each door in your Enfield Town 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 Enfield Town 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.
What you get:
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
Rules and responsibilities in Enfield Town
In Enfield Town, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Enfield Town building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Is Enfield Town within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Enfield Town in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Edmonton. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Enfield Town?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
