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

What kind of buildings in Harrow need fire door work?

Fire door work in Harrow typically involves purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted terraces, where communal stair doors and flat entrance doors carry most of the fire strategy.

Common questions in Harrow

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

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Harrow, 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.

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 Harrow?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Harrow is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
