Questions from Radcliffe clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Radcliffe?

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

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 Radcliffe?

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

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.
