Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Washwood Heath

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Washwood Heath, our fire door seal replacements follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Washwood Heath.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Washwood Heath: questions

Will new seals fix a door with big gaps?

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 Washwood Heath?

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