Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Cwmbran

From the NP44 district outwards, we cover Cwmbran and neighbouring towns such as Pontypool and Risca 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 Cwmbran.

Cwmbran FAQs

Do you cover the area around Cwmbran?

Yes. As well as Cwmbran itself we cover nearby towns including Pontypool, Risca and Newport.

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.

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 in Cwmbran?

No. Cwmbran is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.
