Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in County Armagh
Our intumescent strips and smoke seals service covers all of County Armagh, across postcode districts including BT60, BT67 and BT64.
We check that each door in your County Armagh 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 County Armagh we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in County Armagh can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Getting the specification right
The door's certification states the type, size and position of strips and seals: in the frame or the leaf edge, single or double, and whether a combined intumescent and smoke seal is used. Replacements must match. Swapping in a generic strip from a hardware shop can undermine the door's performance.

Questions
Do you provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across County Armagh?
Yes. We cover all of County Armagh, including Craigavon and Portadown. Surveys and written quotes are free.
How long do seals last?
It depends on use and care. Seals on busy doors wear faster. Regular inspections will show when they need replacing.

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.
