Riser and cupboard fire doors in Belfast

Riser and cupboard fire doors for Belfast buildings

If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Belfast, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Around Belfast, converted flats, shared houses and clinics all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Belfast blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Belfast to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Signage as required
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Single and double flush configurations

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.
