Common questions in Streatham

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Streatham?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Streatham?

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