Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Redruth

From the TR16 district outwards, we cover Redruth and neighbouring towns such as Camborne and Truro for fire door seal replacements.

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 Redruth.

Common questions in Redruth

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Redruth?

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

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Redruth?

Redruth 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.
