Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Newtownabbey

Looking for a fire door seal replacement in Newtownabbey? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Newtownabbey 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 Newtownabbey.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Newtownabbey: questions

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Newtownabbey?

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 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.
