Riser and cupboard fire doors in Dagenham, done to the evidence

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

Around Dagenham, restaurants, shared houses 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.

We match riser doors in Dagenham to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Dagenham, 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:

• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Signage as required
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found

Rules and responsibilities in Dagenham

England's framework applies in Dagenham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Dagenham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
