Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in New Milton

From the BH25 district outwards, we cover New Milton and neighbouring towns such as Christchurch and Bournemouth 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.
