Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Dundee
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Dundee, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Dundee range from converted period houses to care homes and industrial units. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Dundee blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Dundee, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
Which fire door rules apply in Dundee?
Dundee is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Dundee.
Where riser and cupboard fire doors fit in Dundee
From hotels to office buildings, the requirement for riser and cupboard fire doors in Dundee comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Dundee
Do you work in Dundee?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Dundee and the surrounding area, including Arbroath and Perth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Dundee building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
