Riser and cupboard fire doors in Huntingdon, done to the evidence
We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Huntingdon (PE29 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Huntingdon, fire door work covers everything from schools to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
While fitting riser doors in Huntingdon, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Huntingdon 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:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets

Do you cover PE29 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Huntingdon including PE29, and nearby towns such as St Neots and Cambridge. The survey and written quote are free.

It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do you fix fire stopping inside risers?
Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.
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.
