Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Mitcham: questions

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Mitcham?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Mitcham?

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