Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Wellington

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

If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Wellington, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Fire doors in Wellington protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Wellington we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Wellington can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks

Rules and responsibilities in Wellington

Fire doors in Wellington fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Wellington above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
