Questions from Shirley clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Shirley?

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

Do you cover the area around Shirley?

Yes. As well as Shirley itself we cover nearby towns including Solihull, Acocks Green and Birmingham.

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.
