Riser and cupboard fire doors in Hazel Grove: what's involved
When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Hazel Grove, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Hazel Grove protect escape routes in small offices, care homes and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Hazel Grove blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Hazel Grove, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found

Where a Hazel Grove 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.

We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
