Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Gwynedd
Across Gwynedd, including rural and island locations, we carry out fire door gap adjustments for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Door Gap Adjustment: 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.

Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Gwynedd: questions
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.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Gwynedd?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.
