Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Colwyn Bay buildings
From the LL29 postcode district outwards, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals across Colwyn Bay for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Colwyn Bay, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Colwyn Bay we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Colwyn Bay can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.
Why seals fail
Seals are the most common defect on fire door inspections. They get painted over, pulled out, damaged by cleaning or simply worn by years of use. A painted brush seal no longer seals, and a strip of the wrong size may not close the gap in a fire. Our guide to seals explains the different types.
What you get:
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Identification of the specified seals
What the rules say for Colwyn Bay
Because Colwyn Bay is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Colwyn Bay comes from your fire risk assessment.

No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
