Common questions in Ryde

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 Ryde?

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

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.

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

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