Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Belper

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Belper, Derbyshire: 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 Belper.

Belper FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Belper?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Belper?

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.

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.
