Fire door work in County Armagh spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
How is a doorset installed?
The opening is prepared to the size and tolerances in the manufacturer's instructions. The frame is fixed with the specified fixings at the specified centres, packed where needed, and checked for square, plumb and twist. The gap between frame and wall is then sealed with a material covered by the evidence, which BS 8214:2026 now describes in more detail. Finally the leaf is adjusted, the closer is set and the assembly is tested before the architraves go on.

Common questions
Do you provide certified fire doorsets across County Armagh?
Yes. We cover all of County Armagh, including Craigavon and Portadown. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can a doorset be fitted into an existing opening?
Usually, yes. Doorsets are made to fit the structural opening once the old frame is removed. We measure the opening on the survey so the doorset is made to the right size and the gaps to the wall stay within what the evidence allows.
Do doorsets come painted?
They can be supplied primed, factory painted, veneered, laminated or with a composite skin, depending on the product. Factory finishes avoid painting over seals and labels on site.
