Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Ammanford

Ammanford landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door seal replacements with straightforward reports and fixed 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 Ammanford.

Ammanford FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply in Ammanford?

No. Ammanford is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Ammanford?

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 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.

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.
