Riser and cupboard fire doors in Farnborough: what's involved
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Farnborough and the wider Hampshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Farnborough, fire door work covers everything from high-street shops to low-rise blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Farnborough blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Farnborough, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
What you get:
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Which fire door rules apply in Farnborough?
In Farnborough, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Farnborough building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs riser and cupboard fire doors in Farnborough?

Questions
Is Farnborough within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Farnborough in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Camberley. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Farnborough?
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.
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.
