Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Rhosllannerchrugog, done to the evidence
If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Rhosllannerchrugog, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Rhosllannerchrugog protect escape routes in schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Seal replacement in Rhosllannerchrugog can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Rhosllannerchrugog building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
Getting the specification right
The door's certification states the type, size and position of strips and seals: in the frame or the leaf edge, single or double, and whether a combined intumescent and smoke seal is used. Replacements must match. Swapping in a generic strip from a hardware shop can undermine the door's performance.
On a typical job that means:
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Identification of the specified seals
Which fire door rules apply in Rhosllannerchrugog?
Rhosllannerchrugog is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions
Is Rhosllannerchrugog within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Rhosllannerchrugog in Clwyd and neighbouring towns such as Wrexham. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Rhosllannerchrugog?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
