Riser and cupboard fire doors for Llanelli buildings
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Llanelli and the wider Dyfed area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Llanelli range from small offices to care homes and family homes after loft conversions. 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 Llanelli blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Llanelli to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
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.
What you get:
- Signage as required
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
The regulations behind fire doors in Llanelli
Llanelli is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions from Llanelli
Do you cover SA15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Llanelli including SA15, and nearby towns such as Gorseinon and Swansea. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Llanelli?
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.
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.
