Questions from Newton-le-Willows clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newton-le-Willows?

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

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 quickly can you inspect fire doors in Newton-le-Willows?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
