Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Bow
From the E3 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Bow for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Bow range from student accommodation to clinics and mixed-use office buildings. 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 Bow to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Bow, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Signage as required
Which fire door rules apply in Bow?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bow 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Bow 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.

What rating should a riser door be?
It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.

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