Hadley Wood FAQs

Can you price remedial work in Hadley Wood from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Hadley Wood, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Hadley Wood?

Hadley Wood 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.
