Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Gorseinon

What intumescent strips and smoke seals in Gorseinon should include

When you book intumescent strips and smoke seals in Gorseinon, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Gorseinon has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, small offices and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Seal replacement in Gorseinon can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Gorseinon 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:

• Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
• Removal of damaged or painted seals
• Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
• Identification of the specified seals
