Fire door frames in Bangor, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bangor, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Bangor, fire door work covers everything from care homes to industrial estates. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Bangor survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Bangor 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:
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility

Questions from Bangor
Do you work in Bangor?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Bangor and the surrounding area, including Newtownards and Carrickfergus. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Why do you photograph the frame before fitting architraves?
Because the fixing and sealing are hidden once the architraves go on. Photographs give you evidence that the hidden work was done correctly.
