Riser and cupboard fire doors in Sutton, done to the evidence
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Sutton and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Sutton has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built blocks of flats, mixed-use office buildings and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We match riser doors in Sutton to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Sutton, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Which fire door rules apply in Sutton?
Fire doors in Sutton fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For residential buildings in Sutton above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions from Sutton
Is Sutton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Sutton in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Carshalton. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Sutton?
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.
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.
