Stanford-le-Hope FAQs

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 Stanford-le-Hope?

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

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.

Do you cover the area around Stanford-le-Hope?

Yes. As well as Stanford-le-Hope itself we cover nearby towns including Basildon, Pitsea and Grays.
