Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Fleetwood

We provide fire door gap adjustments for buildings in Fleetwood and the FY7 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Fleetwood.
