Riser and cupboard fire doors in Shepherds Bush

Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Shepherds Bush

When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Shepherds Bush, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Fire doors in Shepherds Bush protect escape routes in schools, care homes and restaurants alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We match riser doors in Shepherds Bush to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Shepherds Bush, 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.

Each installation includes:

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