Riser and cupboard fire doors in Fleet, done to the evidence
From the GU51 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Fleet for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Fleet, small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and care homes 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.
We match riser doors in Fleet to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Fleet, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
The regulations behind fire doors in Fleet
The rules that apply to fire doors in Fleet are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Fleet block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

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.
