What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Farnham should include
Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service in Farnham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Farnham, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Seal replacement in Farnham can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Farnham building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
Getting the specification right
The door's certification states the type, size and position of strips and seals: in the frame or the leaf edge, single or double, and whether a combined intumescent and smoke seal is used. Replacements must match. Swapping in a generic strip from a hardware shop can undermine the door's performance.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Brush or blade smoke seals
What the rules say for Farnham
In Farnham, 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 Farnham 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.

Questions
Do you work in Farnham?
Yes, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals in Farnham and the surrounding area, including Aldershot and Fleet. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Farnham?
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.
How long do seals last?
It depends on use and care. Seals on busy doors wear faster. Regular inspections will show when they need replacing.
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.
