Fire door frames: our service in Omagh
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Omagh, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Omagh range from family homes after loft conversions to light industrial buildings and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Omagh survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Omagh jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Why frames fail inspections
Many fire door problems start with the frame: softwood linings too thin for the door, frames cut back to fit a previous door, frames loose in the wall, or gaps behind the architrave stuffed with ordinary foam or left open. A perfect leaf hung in a frame like that cannot be relied on.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door

Common questions
Do you cover BT78 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Omagh including BT78, and nearby towns such as Derry and Portadown. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
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.
