What riser and cupboard fire doors in Heywood should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Heywood, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Heywood has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Heywood blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Heywood, 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.
What you get:
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Fire door law for Heywood properties
In Heywood, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Heywood building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Do you work in Heywood?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Heywood and the surrounding area, including Middleton and Rochdale. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Heywood?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
