Riser and cupboard fire doors for Greenford buildings
When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Greenford, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Greenford, care homes, shared houses and restaurants 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 Greenford to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Greenford, 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:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
Fire door law for Greenford properties
In Greenford, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
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 Greenford 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.

Do you cover UB6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Greenford including UB6, and nearby towns such as Northolt and Southall. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Greenford?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
