Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Eccles

Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Eccles is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Eccles has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, care homes and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

While fitting riser doors in Eccles, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Eccles blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.

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.

What you get:

• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Signage as required
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
