Intumescent strips and smoke seals in Bangor, done to the evidence
From the BT20 postcode district outwards, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals across Bangor for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Bangor, family homes after loft conversions, industrial estates and low-rise blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Bangor we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Bangor building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Identification of the specified seals
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge

Questions
Is Bangor within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bangor in County Down and neighbouring towns such as Newtownards. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
