Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Alfreton

Responsible persons in Alfreton can book fire door seal replacements with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Alfreton.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Alfreton?

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

Alfreton 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.

Can I just stick new seals over the old ones?

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.
