Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Stratford

Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Stratford buildings

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

Fire doors in Stratford protect escape routes in care homes, purpose-built blocks of flats and clinics alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Seal replacement in Stratford can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Stratford building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.

Why seals fail

Seals are the most common defect on fire door inspections. They get painted over, pulled out, damaged by cleaning or simply worn by years of use. A painted brush seal no longer seals, and a strip of the wrong size may not close the gap in a fire. Our guide to seals explains the different types.

What you get:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Brush or blade smoke seals

What the rules say for Stratford

The rules that apply to fire doors in Stratford 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Where a Stratford 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.
