Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Hoddesdon

Hoddesdon landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door seal replacements with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Hoddesdon.

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

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

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.

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.
