Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Hayes
From the UB3 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Hayes for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Hayes, fire door work covers everything from clinics to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We match riser doors in Hayes to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Hayes, 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.
What you get:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
Rules and responsibilities in Hayes
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hayes are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Hayes block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you cover UB3 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hayes including UB3, and nearby towns such as Southall and Heston. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hayes 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 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.
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.
