Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Gloucester

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Gloucester, Gloucestershire: 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 Gloucester.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Gloucester: questions

Do you cover the area around Gloucester?

Yes. As well as Gloucester itself we cover nearby towns including Cheltenham, Stroud and Tewkesbury.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Gloucester?

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

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.
