Riser and cupboard fire doors for Stratford buildings
When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Stratford, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Stratford, restaurants, clinics and student accommodation 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 Stratford blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Stratford, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
The fire stopping behind the door
The door is only half the picture. Inside the riser, the services passing through each floor must be fire stopped. That is a separate specialist task. Where we find gaps or missing fire stopping while fitting riser doors, we record it and flag it to you so it can be addressed.
What you get:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
- Single and double flush configurations
The regulations behind fire doors in Stratford
England's framework applies in Stratford. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Stratford, 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Stratford?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Stratford and the surrounding area, including Bow and Canning Town. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Stratford?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do riser doors need closers?
Not if they are kept locked shut and the fire strategy allows it; they should then be labelled accordingly. Cupboards that are opened regularly normally need self-closers.
Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
Only if it is a fire-rated product with evidence for the wall rating. Many ordinary access panels and cupboard doors are not fire rated.
