Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Tynemouth

From the NE30 district outwards, we cover Tynemouth and neighbouring towns such as North Shields and South Shields 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.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Tynemouth: questions

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Tynemouth?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tynemouth?

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