Amersham FAQs

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Amersham?

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

Do you cover the area around Amersham?

Yes. As well as Amersham itself we cover nearby towns including Chesham, Chalfont Saint Peter and Gerrards Cross.
