Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in Camberley
If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Camberley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Camberley range from family homes after loft conversions to small offices and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Camberley we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Camberley 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.
What you get:
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
Which fire door rules apply in Camberley?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Camberley 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 Camberley 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.
Where intumescent strips and smoke seals fit in Camberley
From care homes to schools, the requirement for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Camberley comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you work in Camberley?
Yes, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals in Camberley and the surrounding area, including Sandhurst and Farnborough. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Camberley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do all fire doors need smoke seals?
Only where the door is specified for smoke control, such as FD30S doors. Many doors on escape routes and flat entrances are specified this way.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
