Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Camden Town

From the NW1 district outwards, we cover Camden Town and neighbouring towns such as Chalk Farm and Holloway for fire door seal replacements.

In short: 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.

Common questions in Camden Town

Which fire safety law applies in Camden Town?

Camden Town 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.

Do you cover the area around Camden Town?

Yes. As well as Camden Town itself we cover nearby towns including Chalk Farm, Holloway and Islington.

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.
