Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Kilburn
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Kilburn, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Kilburn, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to shared houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
While fitting riser doors in Kilburn, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Kilburn blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
What the rules say for Kilburn
Fire doors in Kilburn fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For residential buildings in Kilburn above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

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