Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Camborne

We provide fire door seal replacements for buildings in Camborne and the TR14 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: 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 Camborne: questions

Do you cover the area around Camborne?

Yes. As well as Camborne itself we cover nearby towns including Redruth, Falmouth and Truro.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Camborne?

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