What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Egham should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Egham, we offer intumescent strips and smoke seals with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Egham, care homes, family homes after loft conversions and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Egham we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Egham 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.
What you get:
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Identification of the specified seals
- Removal of damaged or painted seals

Common questions
Do you work in Egham?
Yes, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals in Egham and the surrounding area, including Staines and Ashford (Surrey). Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Egham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
