Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Amersham

We provide fire door seal replacements for buildings in Amersham and the HP7 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 Amersham.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Amersham: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Amersham?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Amersham 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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Amersham?

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