Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Warwickshire: what's involved
Whether your building is in Nuneaton, Rugby or a smaller place in Warwickshire, we can provide intumescent strips and smoke seals with the same evidence-led approach.
Seal replacement in Warwickshire can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Warwickshire building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
Wherever your building is in Warwickshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Fire door law for Warwickshire properties
In Warwickshire, 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 Warwickshire 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 provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across Warwickshire?
Yes. We cover all of Warwickshire, including Nuneaton and Rugby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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 smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
