Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Peterlee

We provide fire door seal replacements for buildings in Peterlee and the SR8 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Peterlee: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Peterlee?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Peterlee?

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

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.
