Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Bournemouth
Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Bournemouth? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Bournemouth protect escape routes in GP surgeries, offices and converted period houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We match riser doors in Bournemouth to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Bournemouth, 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:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Which fire door rules apply in Bournemouth?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth 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.
Who needs riser and cupboard fire doors in Bournemouth?

Questions from Bournemouth
Is Bournemouth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bournemouth in Dorset and neighbouring towns such as Christchurch. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Bournemouth?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
