Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Morley, done to the evidence
When you book intumescent strips and smoke seals in Morley, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Morley, fire door work covers everything from low-rise blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Morley we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Morley building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Brush or blade smoke seals
Rules and responsibilities in Morley
Fire doors in Morley fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Morley above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions
Is Morley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Morley in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Batley. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
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.
