Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Coatbridge

Looking for a fire door seal replacement in Coatbridge? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Coatbridge and surrounding parts of Lanarkshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Coatbridge.

Do you cover the area around Coatbridge?

Yes. As well as Coatbridge itself we cover nearby towns including Airdrie, Motherwell and Cumbernauld.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Coatbridge?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

Can intumescent strips be painted?

Brush and fin smoke seals should never be painted, because paint stops them working. Some intumescent strips tolerate a light coat, but the safest rule is to mask all seals before decorating and replace any that have been painted.
