Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Wellingborough: questions

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.

Do you cover the area around Wellingborough?

Yes. As well as Wellingborough itself we cover nearby towns including Rushden, Kettering and Northampton.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Wellingborough?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Wellingborough 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.
