Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Camden Town

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Camden Town, our fire door gap adjustments follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Camden Town.

Common questions in Camden Town

Which fire safety law applies in Camden Town?

Camden Town is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Camden Town?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Camden Town can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
