Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Pontypool

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Pontypool: what's involved

Looking for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Pontypool? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Pontypool and the wider Gwent area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Pontypool, light industrial buildings, 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.

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

What you get:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting

Which fire door rules apply in Pontypool?

Pontypool 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.
