Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in Brighouse
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Brighouse, we offer intumescent strips and smoke seals with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Brighouse protect escape routes in care homes, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We check that each door in your Brighouse 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 Brighouse we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
The regulations behind fire doors in Brighouse
In Brighouse, 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 Brighouse 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.

Common questions
Do you cover HD6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Brighouse including HD6, and nearby towns such as Halifax and Cleckheaton. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Brighouse?
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 smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
