Fire door frames: our service in Craigavon
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Craigavon, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Craigavon protect escape routes in HMOs, low-rise blocks of flats and industrial estates alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Craigavon survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Craigavon jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Frames on their own
Where a leaf is sound but the frame is not, a new compatible frame can sometimes be fitted to the existing leaf, provided the combination is supported by the leaf's certification. More often, a frame replacement is part of a doorset installation.
What you get:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering

Questions from Craigavon
Do you cover BT64 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Craigavon including BT64, and nearby towns such as Portadown and Lisburn. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Craigavon?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can a new frame be fitted to my existing door?
Sometimes, if the frame is compatible with the door's certification. Often it is simpler and better evidenced to replace the whole doorset.
Can I use expanding foam around a fire door frame?
Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable.
