Common questions in Golborne

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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Golborne?

Yes. As well as Golborne itself we cover nearby towns including Newton-le-Willows, Ashton in Makerfield and Leigh.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Golborne?

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