Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Dukinfield: questions

Can you fix a big gap with a thicker intumescent strip?

Not as a general rule. Seals are tested for a particular gap; using oversized seals to hide a poor fit is not a reliable repair.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Dukinfield?

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