Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Tottenham
Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Tottenham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Tottenham and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Tottenham, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Tottenham blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Tottenham, 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:
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
Which fire door rules apply in Tottenham?
England's framework applies in Tottenham. 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 Tottenham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Tottenham, 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.

Questions
Do you work in Tottenham?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Tottenham and the surrounding area, including Edmonton and Wood Green. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
