Intumescent strips and smoke seals for Craigavon buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Craigavon, we offer intumescent strips and smoke seals with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Craigavon protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, industrial estates and HMOs alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Craigavon we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Craigavon building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
What the rules say for Craigavon
Craigavon 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 Craigavon are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.
Buildings and duty holders in Craigavon

In Craigavon, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Craigavon
Is Craigavon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Craigavon in County Armagh and neighbouring towns such as Portadown. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Craigavon?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
