Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Aberdare buildings

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

In and around Aberdare, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

We check that each door in your Aberdare building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off. Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Aberdare we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.

Why seals fail

Seals are the most common defect on fire door inspections. They get painted over, pulled out, damaged by cleaning or simply worn by years of use. A painted brush seal no longer seals, and a strip of the wrong size may not close the gap in a fire. Our guide to seals explains the different types.

What you get:

• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Identification of the specified seals
• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks

Which fire door rules apply in Aberdare?

Because Aberdare is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.

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