Riser and cupboard fire doors in Islington

Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Islington

Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Islington 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 Islington, fire door work covers everything from restaurants to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Islington blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Islington to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Signage as required

Which fire door rules apply in Islington?

In Islington, 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 Islington 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.
