Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Golborne

Responsible persons in Golborne can book fire door seal replacements with clear reports, useful photos and itemised 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. We use the same method for buildings in Golborne.

Questions from Golborne clients

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.

Do you cover the area around Golborne?

Yes. As well as Golborne itself we cover nearby towns including Newton-le-Willows, Ashton in Makerfield and Leigh.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Golborne?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Golborne is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
