Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Livingston

Livingston 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.
