Questions from Eccles clients

Which fire safety law applies in Eccles?

Eccles 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.

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.

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 Eccles?

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