Common questions in Brighouse

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Brighouse?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Brighouse?

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