Riser and cupboard fire doors in County Antrim: what's involved
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service runs throughout County Antrim. Main towns include Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in County Antrim blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in County Antrim, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
County Antrim has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in County Antrim
County Antrim is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in County Antrim are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across County Antrim?
Yes. We cover all of County Antrim, including Lisburn and Newtownabbey. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
