Riser and meter cupboard doors in Stanford-le-Hope blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Stanford-le-Hope to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
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:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Single and double flush configurations
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found

Questions from Stanford-le-Hope
Do you cover SS17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stanford-le-Hope including SS17, and nearby towns such as Basildon and Pitsea. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stanford-le-Hope 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 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.
