Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Leeds

From the LS1 district outwards, we cover Leeds and neighbouring towns such as Morley and Pudsey for fire door gap adjustments.

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 Leeds.

Fire doors in Leeds's buildings

Student accommodation and HMOs are a big part of the building stock in Leeds, and bedroom door closers and seals in shared housing take heavy wear every term. Where a Leeds building has had a recent fire risk assessment, send it over and we will price against its actions.

Leeds FAQs

Do you cover the area around Leeds?

Yes. As well as Leeds itself we cover nearby towns including Morley, Pudsey and Lofthouse.

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.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Leeds?

Leeds 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.
