Riser fire door installation in Gerrards Cross

Riser and cupboard fire doors in Gerrards Cross, done to the evidence

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Gerrards Cross, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Gerrards Cross range from care homes to small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

While fitting riser doors in Gerrards Cross, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Gerrards Cross blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.

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:

• Signage as required
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
