Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Winchester

Need a fire door seal replacement in Winchester? 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 Winchester.

Questions from Winchester clients

Do you cover the area around Winchester?

Yes. As well as Winchester itself we cover nearby towns including Eastleigh, Southampton and Totton.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Winchester?

Winchester is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.
