Riser and cupboard fire doors across Greater Manchester

Riser and cupboard fire doors for Greater Manchester buildings

Our riser and cupboard fire doors service runs throughout Greater Manchester. Main towns include Manchester, Oldham and Wigan, and we cover the smaller places in between.

We match riser doors in Greater Manchester to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Greater Manchester blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.

Fire door work in Greater Manchester spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.

Closer or lock?

Doors on stores and risers that are kept locked shut usually do not need a self-closer, as long as the strategy allows it and the door is marked accordingly. Doors that are used regularly, such as cleaner's stores, usually do. We follow the fire strategy and the risk assessment for each opening.

The regulations behind fire doors in Greater Manchester

The rules that apply to fire doors in Greater Manchester are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Greater Manchester block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
