Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Pudsey buildings
Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service covers Pudsey and the wider West Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Pudsey range from light industrial buildings to small offices and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Pudsey we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Pudsey 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:
- Identification of the specified seals
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Brush or blade smoke seals
Fire door law for Pudsey properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Pudsey are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Pudsey block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

How quickly can you survey in Pudsey?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
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.
