What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Powys should include
Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service covers all of Powys, across postcode districts including LD1, SY22 and SA9.
We check that each door in your Powys 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 Powys we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Powys can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Powys
Fire door work in Powys follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Powys, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Common questions
Do you provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across Powys?
Yes. We cover all of Powys. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
