Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Lofthouse: questions

Can you price remedial work in Lofthouse from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Lofthouse, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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 Lofthouse?

Lofthouse 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.

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.
