Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Redcar

Responsible persons in Redcar 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 Redcar.

Common questions in Redcar

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Redcar?

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

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.

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.

Yes. As well as Redcar itself we cover nearby towns including Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Billingham.
