Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Burnham-on-Sea

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

In short: 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.

Questions from Burnham-on-Sea clients

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Burnham-on-Sea?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Burnham-on-Sea?

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