Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Ashton-under-Lyne: 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 cover the area around Ashton-under-Lyne?

Yes. As well as Ashton-under-Lyne itself we cover nearby towns including Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Ashton-under-Lyne?

Ashton-under-Lyne 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.
