What riser and cupboard fire doors in Cricklewood should include

Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Cricklewood? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Cricklewood and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Cricklewood range from student accommodation to clinics and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

While fitting riser doors in Cricklewood, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Cricklewood blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.

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:

• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Single and double flush configurations
• Signage as required
