Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Chapeltown, S35

Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Chapeltown

Looking for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Chapeltown? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Chapeltown and the wider South Yorkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Chapeltown has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, small offices and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Seal replacement in Chapeltown can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Chapeltown 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting

England's framework applies in Chapeltown. 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.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
