What riser and cupboard fire doors in Alloa should include
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Alloa is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Alloa, small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
While fitting riser doors in Alloa, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Alloa blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
Closer or lock?
Doors on stores and risers that are kept locked shut usually do not need a self-closer, as long as the strategy allows it and the door is marked accordingly. Doors that are used regularly, such as cleaner's stores, usually do. We follow the fire strategy and the risk assessment for each opening.
What you get:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
Which fire door rules apply in Alloa?
In Alloa, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Questions from Alloa
Is Alloa within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Alloa in Forth Valley and neighbouring towns such as Stirling. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
