Riser and cupboard fire doors in Aldershot, done to the evidence

If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Aldershot, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Around Aldershot, light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and small offices 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.

While fitting riser doors in Aldershot, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Aldershot blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.

Why riser doors get overlooked

Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.

As standard, the work covers:

• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Signage as required
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Seals and frame gap sealing
