Common questions in Briton Ferry

Does regulation 10 apply in Briton Ferry?

No. Briton Ferry is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Briton Ferry?

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