Riser and cupboard fire doors for Barnes buildings
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Barnes, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Barnes protect escape routes in schools, care homes and restaurants alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
While fitting riser doors in Barnes, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Barnes 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.
Each installation includes:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found

Questions
Do you work in Barnes?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Barnes and the surrounding area, including Chiswick and Putney. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Barnes?
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.
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.
