Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Banbury

Looking for a fire door seal replacement in Banbury? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Banbury and surrounding parts of Oxfordshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Banbury.

Common questions in Banbury

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.

Will new seals fix a door with big gaps?

Do you work in occupied buildings in Banbury?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Banbury can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Which fire safety law applies in Banbury?

Banbury 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.
