Riser and cupboard fire doors for Old Trafford buildings
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Old Trafford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Old Trafford, fire door work covers everything from care homes to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We match riser doors in Old Trafford to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Old Trafford, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
What the rules say for Old Trafford
England's framework applies in Old Trafford. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Old Trafford, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Where riser and cupboard fire doors fit in Old Trafford

In Old Trafford, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Do you fix fire stopping inside risers?
Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.

It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
