Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Nottinghamshire

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Nottinghamshire: what's involved

For intumescent strips and smoke seals anywhere in Nottinghamshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop and the rest of the county.

We check that each door in your Nottinghamshire 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 Nottinghamshire we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.

Wherever your building is in Nottinghamshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.

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.

What the rules say for Nottinghamshire

England's framework applies in Nottinghamshire. 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 Nottinghamshire, 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.
