In and around Newton Mearns, fire door work covers everything from care homes to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

We check that each door in your Newton Mearns 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 Newton Mearns 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Identification of the specified seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Check of gaps and closing after fitting
