Riser and cupboard fire doors in Slough, done to the evidence
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Slough and the wider Berkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Slough has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built flats, HMOs and converted period houses, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Slough blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Slough, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
What you get:
- Signage as required
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Slough
England's framework applies in Slough. 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 Slough, 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.
