Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Maidenhead
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Maidenhead, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Maidenhead, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Maidenhead blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Maidenhead, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Fire door law for Maidenhead properties
England's framework applies in Maidenhead. 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 Maidenhead, 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.
