Getting fire door frames right in County Tyrone
We provide fire door frames across County Tyrone, covering 12 postcode districts from BT68 to BT82.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every County Tyrone survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on County Tyrone jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in County Tyrone can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
BS 8214:2026 and the frame-to-wall gap
The 2026 revision of BS 8214 strengthened its guidance on sealing the gap between the frame and the surrounding structure, listing material types such as stone wool, mastic and fire-rated foam, and putting the emphasis on using what the evidence supports. We fill and seal that gap with materials covered by the doorset's or sealant's test evidence and photograph it before the architraves go back on.
Fire door law for County Tyrone properties
County Tyrone 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 County Tyrone are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door frames across County Tyrone?
Yes. We cover all of County Tyrone. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
