High Wycombe FAQs

Do you cover the area around High Wycombe?

Yes. As well as High Wycombe itself we cover nearby towns including Amersham, Maidenhead and Chesham.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in High Wycombe?

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

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.
