Riser and meter cupboard doors in New Milton blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in New Milton, 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Single and double flush configurations
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Seals and frame gap sealing
