Riser and cupboard fire doors for Hampton buildings
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Hampton and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Hampton, fire door work covers everything from care homes to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Hampton blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Hampton, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
Rules and responsibilities in Hampton
In Hampton, 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 Hampton 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
Is Hampton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hampton in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Hanworth. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hampton 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.
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.
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.
