Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Cheadle Hulme

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Cheadle Hulme.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Cheadle Hulme: questions

Can you price remedial work in Cheadle Hulme from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Cheadle Hulme, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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 Cheadle Hulme?

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

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.
