Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Nailsea

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Nailsea, our fire door seal replacements follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Nailsea FAQs

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 Nailsea?

Yes. As well as Nailsea itself we cover nearby towns including Portishead, Clevedon and Bristol.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Nailsea?

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