Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Reigate, done to the evidence
From the RH2 postcode district outwards, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals across Reigate for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Reigate, light industrial buildings, schools and small blocks of flats 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.
We check that each door in your Reigate building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off. Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Reigate we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Reigate
In Reigate, 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 Reigate 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.
Which buildings in Reigate need intumescent strips and smoke seals?
From offices to HMOs, the requirement for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Reigate 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.

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.
