Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Bath

Need a fire door gap adjustment in Bath? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Bath.

Questions from Bath clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Bath?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Bath can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bath?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Bath 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.

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.
