What riser and cupboard fire doors in Sandhurst should include

Around Sandhurst, small offices, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions 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 Sandhurst blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Sandhurst to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.

Why riser doors get overlooked

Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.

As standard, the work covers:

• Single and double flush configurations
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Signage as required
