Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Cambridgeshire
Whether your building is in Peterborough, Cambridge or a smaller place in Cambridgeshire, we can provide riser and cupboard fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
While fitting riser doors in Cambridgeshire, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Cambridgeshire blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
Wherever your building is in Cambridgeshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Fire door law for Cambridgeshire properties
In Cambridgeshire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Cambridgeshire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
