Questions from Heswall clients

Do you cover the area around Heswall?

Yes. As well as Heswall itself we cover nearby towns including Bebington, Birkenhead and Flint.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Heswall?

Heswall is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential 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.
