Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Fulham

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Fulham: what's involved

We provide intumescent strips and smoke seals in Fulham (SW6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

In and around Fulham, fire door work covers everything from schools to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Fulham we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Fulham can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks

Which fire door rules apply in Fulham?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Fulham 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Fulham sits with the London Fire Brigade.

Where a Fulham 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.
