Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Merthyr Tydfil, CF47

Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Merthyr Tydfil, done to the evidence

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

Merthyr Tydfil has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, schools and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We check that each door in your Merthyr Tydfil 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 Merthyr Tydfil we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.

Pads, linings and hidden protection

Fire doors also rely on intumescent material you cannot see: pads behind hinges, linings around lock bodies and glazing seals. Where these are missing or damaged, we fit the correct items as part of the work.

As standard, the work covers:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
• Brush or blade smoke seals

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Merthyr Tydfil, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
