Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Hebburn

What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Hebburn should include

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hebburn, we offer intumescent strips and smoke seals with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Hebburn has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We check that each door in your Hebburn 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 Hebburn 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge

The regulations behind fire doors in Hebburn

In Hebburn, 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 Hebburn 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.
