Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Newark on Trent: questions

Do you cover the area around Newark on Trent?

Yes. As well as Newark on Trent itself we cover nearby towns including Grantham, Arnold and Nottingham.

Which fire safety law applies in Newark on Trent?

Newark on Trent 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 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.

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.
