Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Billingham

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Billingham, County Durham: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Billingham.

Common questions in Billingham

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

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Billingham?

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