Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Coatbridge

Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge.

Common questions in Coatbridge

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.

Do you cover the area around Coatbridge?

Yes. As well as Coatbridge itself we cover nearby towns including Airdrie, Motherwell and Cumbernauld.

Which fire safety law applies in Coatbridge?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

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.
