Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Streatham: questions

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Streatham?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Streatham?

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