What riser and cupboard fire doors in Wokingham should include
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Wokingham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Wokingham has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Wokingham blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Wokingham to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
Closer or lock?
Doors on stores and risers that are kept locked shut usually do not need a self-closer, as long as the strategy allows it and the door is marked accordingly. Doors that are used regularly, such as cleaner's stores, usually do. We follow the fire strategy and the risk assessment for each opening.
What you get:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Which fire door rules apply in Wokingham?
Fire doors in Wokingham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Wokingham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Is Wokingham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Wokingham in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Crowthorne. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wokingham 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.
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.
What rating should a riser door be?
It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
