Riser and cupboard fire doors in London, done to the evidence
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in London is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
London has a broad mix of buildings, including mixed-use office buildings, hotels and shared houses, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We match riser doors in London to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in London, 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.
What you get:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
What the rules say for London
In London, 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 London 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.

Do you cover WC2N and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover London including WC2N, and nearby towns such as City of Westminster and Pimlico. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in London?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
