Riser and cupboard fire doors for Stroud buildings
From the GL6 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Stroud for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Stroud range from care homes to low-rise blocks of flats 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.
We match riser doors in Stroud to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Stroud, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
What the rules say for Stroud
In Stroud, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Stroud building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Buildings and duty holders in Stroud
From office buildings to blocks of flats, the requirement for riser and cupboard fire doors in Stroud comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Is Stroud within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stroud in Gloucestershire and neighbouring towns such as Gloucester. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Stroud?
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.
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.
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.
