Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Crowthorne
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Crowthorne, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Crowthorne, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Crowthorne blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Crowthorne to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Single and double flush configurations
The regulations behind fire doors in Crowthorne
The rules that apply to fire doors in Crowthorne are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Crowthorne block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Buildings and duty holders in Crowthorne
Typical settings for riser and cupboard fire doors include office buildings, student accommodation and blocks of flats. In Crowthorne, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Do you cover RG45 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Crowthorne including RG45, and nearby towns such as Sandhurst and Yateley. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Crowthorne?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
