Potters Bar 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Potters Bar?

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

Can a damaged fire door be repaired or does it need replacing?

Many faults can be repaired: closers, hinges, seals, small edge damage and beads. Holes through the leaf, major splits, delamination or damage to the frame often mean the door should be replaced. We will tell you which applies and why.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Potters Bar?

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