Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Tipton

Looking for a fire door seal replacement in Tipton? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Tipton and surrounding parts of the West Midlands, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Tipton.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Tipton: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tipton?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Tipton?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.
