Questions from Woodford Green clients

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Woodford Green?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Woodford Green?

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