Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Bedfordshire
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service runs throughout Bedfordshire. Main towns include Luton, Bedford and Dunstable, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We match riser doors in Bedfordshire to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Bedfordshire, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
Fire door work in Bedfordshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
The fire stopping behind the door
The door is only half the picture. Inside the riser, the services passing through each floor must be fire stopped. That is a separate specialist task. Where we find gaps or missing fire stopping while fitting riser doors, we record it and flag it to you so it can be addressed.
Which fire door rules apply in Bedfordshire?
England's framework applies in Bedfordshire. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Bedfordshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Riser and cupboard fire doors questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Bedfordshire?
Yes. We cover all of Bedfordshire, including Luton and Bedford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
What rating should a riser door be?
It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
Do you fix fire stopping inside risers?
Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.
