Common questions in Wisbech

Do you cover the area around Wisbech?

Yes. As well as Wisbech itself we cover nearby towns including March, King's Lynn and Spalding.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Wisbech?

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

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.

How big can the gap under a fire door be?

It depends on the door's evidence. Doors without smoke control often allow a larger threshold gap, sometimes up to around 8 to 10 mm, while smoke control doors usually need 3 mm or less or a tested drop seal.
