Riser and cupboard fire doors in Macclesfield, SK11

Riser and cupboard fire doors for Macclesfield buildings

We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Macclesfield (SK11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

In and around Macclesfield, fire door work covers everything from high-street shops to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

We match riser doors in Macclesfield to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Macclesfield, 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.

What you get:

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