Riser and cupboard fire doors in Lower Earley, done to the evidence
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Lower Earley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Lower Earley protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Lower Earley blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Lower Earley 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:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Fire door law for Lower Earley properties
In Lower Earley, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Lower Earley building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Is Lower Earley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Lower Earley in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Reading. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Lower Earley building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do riser doors need closers?
Not if they are kept locked shut and the fire strategy allows it; they should then be labelled accordingly. Cupboards that are opened regularly normally need self-closers.
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.
