Riser and cupboard fire doors in Gosport, done to the evidence
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Gosport, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Gosport protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, high-street shops and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Gosport blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Gosport to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
The fire stopping behind the door
The door is only half the picture. Inside the riser, the services passing through each floor must be fire stopped. That is a separate specialist task. Where we find gaps or missing fire stopping while fitting riser doors, we record it and flag it to you so it can be addressed.
Each installation includes:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
Fire door law for Gosport properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Gosport 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 Gosport 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.
Who needs riser and cupboard fire doors in Gosport?
From hotels to blocks of flats, the requirement for riser and cupboard fire doors in Gosport comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Do you work in Gosport?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Gosport and the surrounding area, including Portsmouth and Fareham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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 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.
