Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Deal

We provide fire door seal replacements for buildings in Deal and the CT14 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Questions from Deal clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Deal?

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

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.

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

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