Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Chalk Farm
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Chalk Farm, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Chalk Farm, shared houses, mixed-use office buildings and converted flats 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.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Chalk Farm blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Chalk Farm, 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.
What you get:
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
Fire door law for Chalk Farm properties
In Chalk Farm, 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Chalk Farm sits with the London Fire Brigade.
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 Chalk Farm 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.

Common questions
Do you cover NW5 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Chalk Farm including NW5, and nearby towns such as Camden Town and Holloway. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Chalk Farm building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
