Riser and cupboard fire doors in Hereford

Riser and cupboard fire doors for Hereford buildings

If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Hereford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Hereford, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Hereford blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Hereford to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
