Getting intumescent strips and smoke seals right in Omagh
We provide intumescent strips and smoke seals in Omagh (BT78 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Omagh, fire door work covers everything from care homes to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Omagh we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies. We check that each door in your Omagh building closes and latches against its new seals before signing it off.
Why seals fail
Seals are the most common defect on fire door inspections. They get painted over, pulled out, damaged by cleaning or simply worn by years of use. A painted brush seal no longer seals, and a strip of the wrong size may not close the gap in a fire. Our guide to seals explains the different types.
On a typical job that means:
- Check of gaps and closing after fitting
- Removal of damaged or painted seals
- Intumescent strips in frame or leaf edge
- Brush or blade smoke seals
Rules and responsibilities in Omagh
Omagh 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 Omagh are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions from Omagh
Do you work in Omagh?
Yes, we take on intumescent strips and smoke seals in Omagh and the surrounding area, including Derry and Portadown. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Omagh?
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.
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.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
