Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Newburn: questions

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

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

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 Newburn?

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