Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Wolverhampton

Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in Wolverhampton

Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service covers Wolverhampton and the wider West Midlands area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Fire doors in Wolverhampton protect escape routes in shared houses, student accommodation and converted flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Seal replacement in Wolverhampton can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Wolverhampton building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.

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:

• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Identification of the specified seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks

Which fire door rules apply in Wolverhampton?

England's framework applies in Wolverhampton. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Wolverhampton, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
