Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Frome

From the BA11 district outwards, we cover Frome and neighbouring towns such as Trowbridge and Bath for fire door seal replacements.

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.

Frome FAQs

Do you cover the area around Frome?

Yes. As well as Frome itself we cover nearby towns including Trowbridge, Bath and Kingswood.

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.

Can intumescent strips be painted?

Brush and fin smoke seals should never be painted, because paint stops them working. Some intumescent strips tolerate a light coat, but the safest rule is to mask all seals before decorating and replace any that have been painted.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Frome?

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