Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Havant
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Havant 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.
Fire doors in Havant protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, care homes and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We match riser doors in Havant to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Havant, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
What the rules say for Havant
The rules that apply to fire doors in Havant 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 Havant 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.

Questions from Havant
Do you work in Havant?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Havant and the surrounding area, including Waterlooville and Portsmouth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Havant?
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.
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.
