Riser and cupboard fire doors in Leytonstone

Riser and cupboard fire doors in Leytonstone, done to the evidence

Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Leytonstone is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Leytonstone has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built blocks of flats, care homes and hotels, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We match riser doors in Leytonstone to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Leytonstone, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.

Why riser doors get overlooked

Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.

On a typical job that means:

• Single and double flush configurations
• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
