Fire Door Gap Adjustment in High Peak

We provide fire door gap adjustments for buildings in High Peak and the SK23 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

Fire door gap adjustment is the work needed to bring the gaps between a fire door leaf and its frame, and under the door, back within the tolerance in the door's evidence, typically 2 to 4 mm around the edges. We use the same method for buildings in High Peak.

High Peak FAQs

Why do gaps open up over time?

Hinges wear and drop, frames shrink or move, leaves warp, and doors are sometimes planed after flooring changes. Each needs a different 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in High Peak?

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

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

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