Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Walkden? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Walkden and the wider Greater Manchester area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Walkden range from light industrial buildings to care homes and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Walkden blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Walkden, 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
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Single and double flush configurations
