Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Battersea

Looking for a fire door seal replacement in Battersea? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Battersea and surrounding parts of Greater London, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Battersea.

Questions from Battersea clients

Do you cover the area around Battersea?

Yes. As well as Battersea itself we cover nearby towns including Chelsea, Pimlico and City of Westminster.

Which fire safety law applies in Battersea?

Battersea is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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.
