Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Ammanford

Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Ammanford buildings

If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Ammanford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Around Ammanford, houses with integral garages, small offices and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Ammanford we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Ammanford 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:

• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Brush or blade smoke seals

England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Ammanford comes from your fire risk assessment.
