Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Sutton Coldfield

Responsible persons in Sutton Coldfield 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.

Common questions in Sutton Coldfield

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sutton Coldfield?

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

Can you price remedial work in Sutton Coldfield from another company's report?

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

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 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.
