Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Burton upon Trent

Need a fire door seal replacement in Burton upon Trent? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Burton upon Trent.

Questions from Burton upon Trent clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Burton upon Trent?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Burton upon Trent?

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