Questions from Melton Mowbray clients

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 Melton Mowbray?

Melton Mowbray 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.

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

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