Riser and cupboard fire doors in Gwent: what's involved
Whether your building is in Newport (Gwent), Cwmbran or a smaller place in Gwent, we can provide riser and cupboard fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
While fitting riser doors in Gwent, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Gwent blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
Gwent has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Fire door law for Gwent properties
Fire door work in Gwent follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Gwent, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Gwent?
Yes. We cover all of Gwent, including Newport (Gwent) and Cwmbran. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
