Looking for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Evesham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Evesham and the wider Worcestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Evesham range from family homes after loft conversions to small offices and care homes. 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 Evesham we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Evesham building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.

Why seals fail

Seals are the most common defect on fire door inspections. They get painted over, pulled out, damaged by cleaning or simply worn by years of use. A painted brush seal no longer seals, and a strip of the wrong size may not close the gap in a fire. Our guide to seals explains the different types.

On a typical job that means:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Removal of damaged or painted seals

Which fire door rules apply in Evesham?

In Evesham, 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 Evesham 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.
