Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Motherwell

Motherwell 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.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Motherwell: questions

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 Motherwell?

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

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

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.
