Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Hailsham

From the BN27 district outwards, we cover Hailsham and neighbouring towns such as Eastbourne and Seaford for fire door seal replacements.

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 Hailsham.

Can I just stick new seals over the old ones?
