Common questions in Wednesfield

Do you cover the area around Wednesfield?

Yes. As well as Wednesfield itself we cover nearby towns including Willenhall, Wolverhampton and Bloxwich.

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 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 Wednesfield?

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