Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Carrickfergus

Looking for a fire door seal replacement in Carrickfergus? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Carrickfergus and surrounding parts of County Antrim, 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 Carrickfergus.

Questions from Carrickfergus clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Carrickfergus?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Which fire safety law applies in Carrickfergus?

The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require fire safety measures, including fire doors, to be maintained.

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.

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.
