Litherland FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Litherland?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Litherland 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.

Do you cover the area around Litherland?

Yes. As well as Litherland itself we cover nearby towns including Bootle, Maghull and Liverpool.

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.
