Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Dunbartonshire
We provide fire door seal replacements across Dunbartonshire, including Bearsden, Clydebank and Vale of Leven, with the same report format and pricing wherever your buildings are.
Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement: 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 Dunbartonshire: questions
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.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Dunbartonshire?
In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Dunbartonshire?
