Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Esher

From the KT10 district outwards, we cover Esher and neighbouring towns such as Walton-on-Thames and Hampton for fire door seal replacements.

In short: 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.

Questions from Esher 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.

Do you cover the area around Esher?

Yes. As well as Esher itself we cover nearby towns including Walton-on-Thames, Hampton and Sunbury-on-Thames.

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 Esher?

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