Common questions in Redruth
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Redruth?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Redruth is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Redruth?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Redruth can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
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.
