Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service in Sunbury-on-Thames is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Sunbury-on-Thames has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

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

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:

• Brush or blade smoke seals
• Identification of the specified seals
• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
