Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Walton-on-Thames, done to the evidence

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

Walton-on-Thames has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, care homes and light industrial buildings, 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 Walton-on-Thames we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Walton-on-Thames 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.

Each installation includes:

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