Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Notting Hill

From the W11 district outwards, we cover Notting Hill and neighbouring towns such as Shepherds Bush and Willesden for fire door seal replacements.

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.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Notting Hill: questions

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Notting Hill?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Notting Hill 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Notting Hill?

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