Need a fire door seal replacement in Trowbridge? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.
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.

Questions from Trowbridge clients

Can I just stick new seals over the old ones?
