Questions from Leyland clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Leyland?

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

Why do gaps open up over time?

Hinges wear and drop, frames shrink or move, leaves warp, and doors are sometimes planed after flooring changes. Each needs a different repair.

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

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

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.
