Stourport-on-Severn has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, small blocks of flats 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 Stourport-on-Severn we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Stourport-on-Severn 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.

Each installation includes:

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