Riser and cupboard fire doors in Mangotsfield, done to the evidence
When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Mangotsfield, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Mangotsfield protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We match riser doors in Mangotsfield to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Mangotsfield, 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:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Rules and responsibilities in Mangotsfield
The rules that apply to fire doors in Mangotsfield 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 Mangotsfield 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 depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
Only if it is a fire-rated product with evidence for the wall rating. Many ordinary access panels and cupboard doors are not fire rated.

Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.
