Newtownards FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Newtownards?

The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require fire safety measures, including fire doors, to be maintained.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Newtownards from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Newtownards, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.
