Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Horley

We provide fire door gap adjustments for buildings in Horley and the RH6 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Horley.

Questions from Horley clients

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Horley?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Horley?

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