Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Crowthorne

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Crowthorne, our fire door seal replacements follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Crowthorne: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Crowthorne?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Crowthorne?

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

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.

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.
