In and around Maghull, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to small blocks of flats. 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 Maghull we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Maghull can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.

Why seals fail

Seals are the most common defect on fire door inspections. They get painted over, pulled out, damaged by cleaning or simply worn by years of use. A painted brush seal no longer seals, and a strip of the wrong size may not close the gap in a fire. Our guide to seals explains the different types.

As standard, the work covers:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Removal of damaged or painted seals

What the rules say for Maghull

In Maghull, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Maghull building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
