Altrincham FAQs

Can you fill a large gap with extra intumescent strip?

Not as a general fix. Gaps outside tolerance are usually corrected by re-hanging, lipping or adjusting the frame, because oversized intumescent strips are not a substitute for a door that fits.

Do you use the original manufacturer's parts?

Where they are available and appropriate. Otherwise we use components with suitable fire test evidence for the door type.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Altrincham?

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

Do you cover the area around Altrincham?

Yes. As well as Altrincham itself we cover nearby towns including Sale, Urmston and Stretford.
