The visible seals on top are just dust seals... The actual oil seals are underneath. Still, if they're damaged enough they could retain dirt or gravel and scratch up your stanchions, which if it gets bad enough is a stone-cold MOT fail.

You would have to remove the forks to fit them, but wont have to strip them down.
