Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Tonbridge

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Tonbridge, Kent: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Tonbridge.

Common questions in Tonbridge

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.

Do you cover the area around Tonbridge?

Yes. As well as Tonbridge itself we cover nearby towns including Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Crowborough.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Tonbridge?

Tonbridge 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.
