Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in Belfast
We provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across Belfast, covering 14 postcode districts from BT1 to BT15.
We check that each door in your Belfast building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off. Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Belfast we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
Wherever your building is in Belfast, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Pads, linings and hidden protection
Fire doors also rely on intumescent material you cannot see: pads behind hinges, linings around lock bodies and glazing seals. Where these are missing or damaged, we fit the correct items as part of the work.

Intumescent strips and smoke seals questions
Do you provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across Belfast?
Yes. We cover all of Belfast, including Belfast and Castlereagh. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
Do all fire doors need smoke seals?
Only where the door is specified for smoke control, such as FD30S doors. Many doors on escape routes and flat entrances are specified this way.
