Common questions in Rhyl

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Rhyl?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Rhyl?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.
