We provide riser and cupboard fire doors across County Down, covering 3 towns and 16 postcode districts, including Bangor, Newtownards and Newry.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in County Down blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in County Down to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
County Down 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.
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.

Common questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across County Down?
Yes. We cover all of County Down, including Bangor and Newtownards. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
