Riser and cupboard fire doors for Belfast buildings
We provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Belfast, covering 14 postcode districts from BT1 to BT15.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Belfast blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Belfast, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
Belfast has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Closer or lock?
Doors on stores and risers that are kept locked shut usually do not need a self-closer, as long as the strategy allows it and the door is marked accordingly. Doors that are used regularly, such as cleaner's stores, usually do. We follow the fire strategy and the risk assessment for each opening.
Rules and responsibilities in Belfast
Belfast is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Belfast are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Riser and cupboard fire doors questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Belfast?
Yes. We cover all of Belfast, including Belfast and Castlereagh. 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.
Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
Only if it is a fire-rated product with evidence for the wall rating. Many ordinary access panels and cupboard doors are not fire rated.
