Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Chelsea

Chelsea landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door seal replacements with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Chelsea

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.

Can you price remedial work in Chelsea from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Chelsea, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chelsea?

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