Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Banstead

We provide fire door seal replacements for buildings in Banstead and the SM7 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Banstead.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Banstead: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Banstead?

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

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 Banstead?

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