Portadown FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Portadown?

The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require fire safety measures, including fire doors, to be maintained.

Can you fix a big gap with a thicker intumescent strip?

Not as a general rule. Seals are tested for a particular gap; using oversized seals to hide a poor fit is not a reliable repair.

Do you cover the area around Portadown?

Yes. As well as Portadown itself we cover nearby towns including Craigavon, Newry and Lisburn.

Why do gaps open up over time?

Hinges wear and drop, frames shrink or move, leaves warp, and doors are sometimes planed after flooring changes. Each needs a different repair.
