Riser and cupboard fire doors in Welling, done to the evidence
From the DA16 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Welling for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Welling range from purpose-built blocks of flats to shared houses and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Welling blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Welling, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
Fire door law for Welling properties
In Welling, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Welling building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Is Welling within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Welling in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Bexley. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Welling building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
