What riser and cupboard fire doors in Ilford should include
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Ilford 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.
Fire doors in Ilford protect escape routes in schools, hotels and shared houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Ilford blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Ilford, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Signage as required
- Single and double flush configurations
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
Rules and responsibilities in Ilford
The rules that apply to fire doors in Ilford 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Ilford sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Ilford 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.

Questions from Ilford
Is Ilford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Ilford in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Barking. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Ilford 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.
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.
