Fire door frames for Newry buildings
From the BT35 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door frames across Newry for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Newry has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Newry survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Newry before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Architraves and making good
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
Which fire door rules apply in Newry?
Newry is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Newry are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions from Newry
Do you work in Newry?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Newry and the surrounding area, including Portadown and Craigavon. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Newry?
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 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.
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.
