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

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Single and double flush configurations
• Seals and frame gap sealing
