Intumescent strips and smoke seals: our service in Newry
Looking for intumescent strips and smoke seals in Newry? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Newry and the wider County Down area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Newry protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, care homes and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Seal replacement in Newry can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. We check that each door in your Newry 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.
What you get:
- Intumescent pads to hinges and locks
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Brush or blade smoke seals
- Identification of the specified seals
Which fire door rules apply in Newry?
Newry 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 Newry are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions from Newry
Is Newry within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Newry in County Down and neighbouring towns such as Portadown. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Newry building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
