Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Newcastle-under-Lyme

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

Newcastle-under-Lyme has a broad mix of buildings, including converted period houses, GP surgeries and offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We check that each door in your Newcastle-under-Lyme 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 Newcastle-under-Lyme we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.

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 you get:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge

Rules and responsibilities in Newcastle-under-Lyme

In Newcastle-under-Lyme, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Newcastle-under-Lyme building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
