Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Greater London: questions
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.
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 Greater London?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Greater London is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Greater London?
Yes. As well as Greater London itself we cover nearby towns including London, Brent and Islington.
