Riser and cupboard fire doors in Chesham

Riser and cupboard fire doors in Chesham, done to the evidence

We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Chesham (HP5 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Chesham has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small offices and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We match riser doors in Chesham to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Chesham, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Single and double flush configurations
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets

The regulations behind fire doors in Chesham

The rules that apply to fire doors in Chesham are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Chesham block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
