Kidsgrove FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Kidsgrove?

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

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.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Kidsgrove?

Kidsgrove 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.
