Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Chorley

From the PR6 district outwards, we cover Chorley and neighbouring towns such as Leyland and Darwen for fire door seal replacements.

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.

Chorley FAQs

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.

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.

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

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