Intumescent strip and smoke seal fitting in Feltham

What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Feltham should include

When you book intumescent strips and smoke seals in Feltham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Around Feltham, hotels, converted flats and restaurants 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 Feltham we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Feltham can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report.

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:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
