Riser and cupboard fire doors in Holloway, done to the evidence
When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Holloway, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Holloway protect escape routes in clinics, schools and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We match riser doors in Holloway to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Holloway, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
The fire stopping behind the door
The door is only half the picture. Inside the riser, the services passing through each floor must be fire stopped. That is a separate specialist task. Where we find gaps or missing fire stopping while fitting riser doors, we record it and flag it to you so it can be addressed.
As standard, the work covers:
- Signage as required
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Questions from Holloway
Is Holloway within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Holloway in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Highbury. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Holloway?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
Only if it is a fire-rated product with evidence for the wall rating. Many ordinary access panels and cupboard doors are not fire rated.
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.
