Stroud FAQs

Do you cover the area around Stroud?

Yes. As well as Stroud itself we cover nearby towns including Gloucester, Cirencester and Cheltenham.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stroud?

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