Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Morden

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Morden, our fire door seal replacements follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Morden

Which fire safety law applies in Morden?

Morden 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 Morden?

Yes. As well as Morden itself we cover nearby towns including Mitcham, Wimbledon and Carshalton.

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.
