Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Pimlico

From the SW1V district outwards, we cover Pimlico and neighbouring towns such as City of Westminster and Battersea 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.

Pimlico FAQs

Do you cover the area around Pimlico?

Yes. As well as Pimlico itself we cover nearby towns including City of Westminster, Battersea and Chelsea.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Pimlico?

Pimlico 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.
