Riser and cupboard fire doors in Ruislip

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

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Ruislip, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Ruislip, mixed-use office buildings, shared houses and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Ruislip blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Ruislip, 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.

What you get:

• Signage as required
• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified

Fire door law for Ruislip properties

England's framework applies in Ruislip. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. Enforcement of fire safety law in Ruislip sits with the London Fire Brigade.

For blocks over 11 metres in Ruislip, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
