Intumescent strip and smoke seal fitting in Stamford Hill

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Stamford Hill, done to the evidence

If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Stamford Hill, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Around Stamford Hill, clinics, purpose-built blocks of flats and shared houses all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

We check that each door in your Stamford Hill 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 Stamford Hill 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:

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

Which fire door rules apply in Stamford Hill?

In Stamford Hill, 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 Stamford Hill 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.
