Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Retford: questions

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

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Retford?

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

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.
