Stalybridge FAQs

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stalybridge?

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