Lower Earley FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Lower Earley?

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

What gap is allowed around a fire door?

Most guidance and manufacturers' evidence expect gaps of about 2 to 4 mm at the head and edges, with 3 mm as a practical target. The door's own certification or test evidence takes precedence if it states a different figure.

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 Lower Earley from another company's report?

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