Rawtenstall FAQs

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.

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

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Rawtenstall?

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