Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Faversham

We provide fire door seal replacements for buildings in Faversham and the ME13 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: 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 Faversham clients

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

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Faversham, 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Faversham?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Faversham is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.
