Intumescent strips and smoke seals across Leicestershire

What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Leicestershire should include

Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service runs throughout Leicestershire. Main towns include Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley, and we cover the smaller places in between.

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

Fire door work in Leicestershire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.

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.

Rules and responsibilities in Leicestershire

England's framework applies in Leicestershire. 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 Leicestershire, 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.
