Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Coalville

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Coalville, our fire door seal replacements follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Common questions in Coalville

Do you work in occupied buildings in Coalville?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Coalville can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Coalville?

Coalville 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.
