What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Holloway should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Holloway, we offer intumescent strips and smoke seals with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Holloway range from shared houses to hotels and mixed-use office buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We check that each door in your Holloway 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 Holloway we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
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:
- Identification of the specified seals
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
Which fire door rules apply in Holloway?
England's framework applies in Holloway. 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 Holloway sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Holloway, 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 Holloway need intumescent strips and smoke seals?
From HMOs to offices, the requirement for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Holloway comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you work in Holloway?
Yes, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals in Holloway and the surrounding area, including Highbury and Archway. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
