Common questions in Hanworth

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Hanworth?

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

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Hanworth?

Hanworth 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.
