Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in Briton Ferry
From the SA12 postcode district outwards, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals across Briton Ferry for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Briton Ferry, fire door work covers everything from schools to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Seal replacement in Briton Ferry can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Briton Ferry building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
Getting the specification right
The door's certification states the type, size and position of strips and seals: in the frame or the leaf edge, single or double, and whether a combined intumescent and smoke seal is used. Replacements must match. Swapping in a generic strip from a hardware shop can undermine the door's performance.
On a typical job that means:
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Identification of the specified seals
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
Rules and responsibilities in Briton Ferry
Fire door work in Briton Ferry follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Briton Ferry, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions from Briton Ferry
Do you cover SA12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Briton Ferry including SA12, and nearby towns such as Neath and Swansea. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Briton Ferry?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
How long do seals last?
It depends on use and care. Seals on busy doors wear faster. Regular inspections will show when they need replacing.
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.
