Sale FAQs

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.

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

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Sale, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sale?

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