Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Alloa

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Alloa, done to the evidence

Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service in Alloa is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Around Alloa, family homes after loft conversions, schools and small blocks of flats 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.

Seal replacement in Alloa can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Alloa 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.

As standard, the work covers:

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

Which fire door rules apply in Alloa?

Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Alloa. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.

Residential common parts in Alloa are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
