Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Chiswick: questions

Do you cover the area around Chiswick?

Yes. As well as Chiswick itself we cover nearby towns including Acton, Barnes and Shepherds Bush.

Which fire safety law applies in Chiswick?

Chiswick 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.

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.

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.
