Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Eastleigh

From the SO50 district outwards, we cover Eastleigh and neighbouring towns such as Southampton and Winchester 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 Eastleigh.

Common questions in Eastleigh

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Eastleigh?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Eastleigh 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.

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.
