Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Cleethorpes
If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Cleethorpes, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Cleethorpes, schools, houses with integral garages and small offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We check that each door in your Cleethorpes 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 Cleethorpes we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Identification of the specified seals
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
Fire door law for Cleethorpes properties
England's framework applies in Cleethorpes. 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 Cleethorpes, 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
Do you work in Cleethorpes?
Yes, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals in Cleethorpes and the surrounding area, including Grimsby and Kingston upon Hull. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cleethorpes building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
