Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Epsom buildings
Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service covers Epsom and the wider Surrey area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Epsom range from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages and care homes. 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 Epsom we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Epsom 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:
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
What the rules say for Epsom
Fire doors in Epsom fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Epsom above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Buildings and duty holders in Epsom
From blocks of flats to offices, the requirement for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Epsom 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.

Common questions
Do you cover KT17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Epsom including KT17, and nearby towns such as Ewell and Banstead. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Epsom?
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.
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.
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.
