Riser and cupboard fire doors in Portadown: what's involved
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Portadown is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Portadown range from family homes after loft conversions to small offices and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We match riser doors in Portadown to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Portadown, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
Why riser doors get overlooked
Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
