Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Maesteg

From the CF34 district outwards, we cover Maesteg and neighbouring towns such as Briton Ferry and Neath for fire door gap adjustments.

Fire door gap adjustment is the work needed to bring the gaps between a fire door leaf and its frame, and under the door, back within the tolerance in the door's evidence, typically 2 to 4 mm around the edges. We use the same method for buildings in Maesteg.

Maesteg FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply in Maesteg?

No. Maesteg is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

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 Maesteg?

Yes. As well as Maesteg itself we cover nearby towns including Briton Ferry, Neath and Coity.

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.
