Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Hounslow

We provide fire door seal replacements for buildings in Hounslow and the TW3 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Hounslow.

Hounslow FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hounslow?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Hounslow 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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Hounslow?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Hounslow can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
