Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in New Malden

Looking for a fire door seal replacement in New Malden? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across New Malden and surrounding parts of Greater London, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.

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

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 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.
