Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Dunstable

Need a fire door seal replacement in Dunstable? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

Intumescent seals are strips set into the edge of a fire door or its frame that expand when heated to close the gap around the door. Smoke seals, usually brush or fin seals, block cold smoke before the intumescent reacts. Both are part of the door's tested performance. We use the same method for buildings in Dunstable.

Dunstable FAQs

Can I just stick new seals over the old ones?

No. Seals should be fitted into the groove after the old seal is removed, in the size and type the door was tested with.

What is the difference between an intumescent strip and a smoke seal?

An intumescent strip expands in heat to seal the gap during a fire. A smoke seal, often a brush or blade, blocks cold smoke at lower temperatures. Smoke control doors, marked with an S such as FD30S, need both.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Dunstable?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Dunstable can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Dunstable?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Dunstable is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
