Riser and cupboard fire doors for Staveley buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Staveley, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Staveley has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Staveley blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Staveley, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Staveley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Staveley are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Staveley block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Is Staveley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Staveley in Derbyshire and neighbouring towns such as Chesterfield. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Staveley?
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.
Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
Only if it is a fire-rated product with evidence for the wall rating. Many ordinary access panels and cupboard doors are not fire rated.
