Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Witney

Witney landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door gap adjustments with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Witney.

Common questions in Witney

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.

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.

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Witney?

Witney is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
