Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Corby

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Corby, done to the evidence

When you book intumescent strips and smoke seals in Corby, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Buildings in and around Corby range from industrial estates to family homes after loft conversions and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

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.

As standard, the work covers:

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

Fire door law for Corby properties

England's framework applies in Corby. 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 Corby, 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.

In Corby, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
