Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Rhondda

Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Rhondda

If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Rhondda, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

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

We check that each door in your Rhondda 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 Rhondda 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.

On a typical job that means:

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

Which fire door rules apply in Rhondda?

Because Rhondda 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 Rhondda comes from your fire risk assessment.
