Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Thamesmead

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Thamesmead, done to the evidence

Looking for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Thamesmead? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Thamesmead and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Thamesmead range from clinics to converted flats 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.

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

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
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Removal of damaged or painted seals

The regulations behind fire doors in Thamesmead

England's framework applies in Thamesmead. 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 Thamesmead sits with the London Fire Brigade.

For blocks over 11 metres in Thamesmead, 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.
