Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Hornchurch? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Hornchurch and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Hornchurch protect escape routes in schools, care homes and converted flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Hornchurch blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Hornchurch, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
Rules and responsibilities in Hornchurch
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hornchurch 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 Hornchurch 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.

It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
