Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Lincolnshire

Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in Lincolnshire

Whether your building is in Lincoln, Grimsby or a smaller place in Lincolnshire, we can provide intumescent strips and smoke seals with the same evidence-led approach.

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

Fire door work in Lincolnshire 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.

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.

The regulations behind fire doors in Lincolnshire

Fire doors in Lincolnshire 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.

For residential buildings in Lincolnshire 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.
