Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Sandhurst

We provide fire door seal replacements for buildings in Sandhurst and the GU47 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Sandhurst.

Sandhurst FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sandhurst?

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

Can intumescent strips be painted?

Brush and fin smoke seals should never be painted, because paint stops them working. Some intumescent strips tolerate a light coat, but the safest rule is to mask all seals before decorating and replace any that have been painted.

Do you cover the area around Sandhurst?

Yes. As well as Sandhurst itself we cover nearby towns including Crowthorne, Yateley and Camberley.

Will new seals fix a door with big gaps?

No. Seals only work within the gap they were tested with. Gaps outside tolerance need the door adjusting first.
