Riser and cupboard fire doors in Colwyn Bay: what's involved
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Colwyn Bay and the wider Clwyd area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Colwyn Bay, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We match riser doors in Colwyn Bay to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Colwyn Bay, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
Fire door law for Colwyn Bay properties
Colwyn Bay is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
Who needs riser and cupboard fire doors in Colwyn Bay?

Common questions
Do you work in Colwyn Bay?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Colwyn Bay and the surrounding area, including Rhyl and Flint. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Colwyn Bay?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Do riser doors need closers?
Not if they are kept locked shut and the fire strategy allows it; they should then be labelled accordingly. Cupboards that are opened regularly normally need self-closers.
