Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Borehamwood

Need a fire door seal replacement in Borehamwood? 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 Borehamwood.

Questions from Borehamwood clients

Which fire safety law applies in Borehamwood?

Borehamwood 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.

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Borehamwood?

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