Seal replacement in Rugeley can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Rugeley building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Identification of the specified seals
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting

Which fire door rules apply in Rugeley?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Rugeley are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Rugeley block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
