Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Cirencester
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Cirencester is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Cirencester, schools, care homes and small offices 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 Cirencester, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Cirencester blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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.
What you get:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Fire door law for Cirencester properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cirencester 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 Cirencester 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.

It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
