Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Tamworth

Responsible persons in Tamworth can book fire door seal replacements with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Tamworth.

Questions from Tamworth clients

Do you cover the area around Tamworth?

Yes. As well as Tamworth itself we cover nearby towns including Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Aldridge.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tamworth?

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

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.
