What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Sale should include
Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service in Sale is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Sale protect escape routes in industrial estates, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We check that each door in your Sale 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 Sale 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.
What you get:
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
The regulations behind fire doors in Sale
England's framework applies in Sale. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Sale, 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.

Common questions
Is Sale within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Sale in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Stretford. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Sale?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
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.
