Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door gap adjustments with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

Fire door gap adjustment is the work needed to bring the gaps between a fire door leaf and its frame, and under the door, back within the tolerance in the door's evidence, typically 2 to 4 mm around the edges. We use the same method for buildings in Wolverhampton.

Wolverhampton FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Wolverhampton?

Wolverhampton is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Wolverhampton?

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