Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Acocks Green: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Acocks Green?

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

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.

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

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

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.
