Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Bordon

Need a fire door seal replacement in Bordon? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Bordon.

Questions from Bordon clients

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Bordon?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bordon?

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