Riser and cupboard fire doors in Cwmbran: what's involved
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Cwmbran and the wider Gwent area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Cwmbran, small blocks of flats, care homes and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Cwmbran blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Cwmbran, 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:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
What the rules say for Cwmbran

England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Cwmbran comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Is Cwmbran within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cwmbran in Gwent and neighbouring towns such as Pontypool. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cwmbran building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
