Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Willesden

From the NW10 district outwards, we cover Willesden and neighbouring towns such as Cricklewood and Notting Hill for fire door seal replacements.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Willesden.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Willesden: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Willesden?

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

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 cover the area around Willesden?

Yes. As well as Willesden itself we cover nearby towns including Cricklewood, Notting Hill and Shepherds Bush.

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.
