Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Felling

Felling landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door seal replacements with straightforward reports and fixed 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.

Felling FAQs

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 you price remedial work in Felling from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Felling, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Felling?

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

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.
