Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Tonypandy: what's involved
If you need intumescent strips and smoke seals in Tonypandy, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Tonypandy, fire door work covers everything from low-rise blocks of flats to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Seal replacement in Tonypandy can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Tonypandy building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
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.
What you get:
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
What the rules say for Tonypandy
Because Tonypandy 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 Tonypandy comes from your fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Do you cover CF40 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Tonypandy including CF40, and nearby towns such as Rhondda and Pontypridd. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Tonypandy building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
Do all fire doors need smoke seals?
Only where the door is specified for smoke control, such as FD30S doors. Many doors on escape routes and flat entrances are specified this way.
