Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Salford

Salford landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door gap adjustments with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

Fire door gap adjustment is the work needed to bring the gaps between a fire door leaf and its frame, and under the door, back within the tolerance in the door's evidence, typically 2 to 4 mm around the edges. We use the same method for buildings in Salford.

Salford 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.

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 Salford?

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

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

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