What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Wembley should include
We provide intumescent strips and smoke seals in Wembley (HA0 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Wembley, fire door work covers everything from care homes to schools. 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 Wembley we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Wembley 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:
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Identification of the specified seals
Rules and responsibilities in Wembley
Fire doors in Wembley fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. Enforcement of fire safety law in Wembley sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For residential buildings in Wembley above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions from Wembley
Do you cover HA0 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wembley including HA0, and nearby towns such as Harrow and Greenford. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Wembley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
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.
