Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Ebbw Vale is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Ebbw Vale protect escape routes in schools, light industrial buildings and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
While fitting riser doors in Ebbw Vale, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Ebbw Vale blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Single and double flush configurations
Fire door law for Ebbw Vale properties

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

Questions from Ebbw Vale
Do you work in Ebbw Vale?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Ebbw Vale and the surrounding area, including Merthyr Tydfil and Pontypool. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Ebbw Vale?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
