Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Fleetwood

Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Fleetwood

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Fleetwood, we offer intumescent strips and smoke seals with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Fleetwood, care homes, family homes after loft conversions 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 Fleetwood we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. Seal replacement in Fleetwood 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.

What you get:

• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Identification of the specified seals
• Removal of damaged or painted seals
