Intumescent strip and smoke seal fitting in Stretford

What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Stretford should include

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

In and around Stretford, fire door work covers everything from schools to houses with integral garages. 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 Stretford we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Stretford 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:

• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Identification of the specified seals

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
