Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Crowthorne

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Crowthorne, our fire door gap adjustments follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

In short: fire door gap adjustment is the work needed to bring the gaps between a fire door leaf and its frame, and under the door, back within the tolerance in the door's evidence, typically 2 to 4 mm around the edges.

Questions from Crowthorne clients

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.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Crowthorne from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Crowthorne, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Crowthorne?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Crowthorne is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
