Common questions in Stoke-on-Trent

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stoke-on-Trent?

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

Do you cover the area around Stoke-on-Trent?

Yes. As well as Stoke-on-Trent itself we cover nearby towns including Newcastle under Lyme, Longton and Kidsgrove.
