Fire Door Gap Adjustment in County Fermanagh: questions
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.
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 in County Fermanagh?
No. County Fermanagh is in Northern Ireland, where the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 apply.
Do you work in occupied buildings in County Fermanagh?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in County Fermanagh can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
