Common questions in Kirkby in Ashfield

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kirkby in Ashfield?

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

Can you price remedial work in Kirkby in Ashfield from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Kirkby in Ashfield, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

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.
