Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Ely

Looking for a fire door seal replacement in Ely? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Ely and surrounding parts of Cambridgeshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Ely.

Questions from Ely clients

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Ely?

Ely is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Ely from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Ely, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
