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

Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in South Yorkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.

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.

What the rules say for South Yorkshire

England's framework applies in South Yorkshire. 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 South Yorkshire, 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.
