Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Wood Green
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Wood Green 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.
Fire doors in Wood Green protect escape routes in converted flats, schools and clinics alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We match riser doors in Wood Green to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Wood Green, 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:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
Fire door law for Wood Green properties
Fire doors in Wood Green 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 Wood Green 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
Do you work in Wood Green?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Wood Green and the surrounding area, including Muswell Hill and Tottenham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wood Green 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.
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.
