Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Bushey
We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Bushey (WD23 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Bushey, fire door work covers everything from schools to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We match riser doors in Bushey to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Bushey, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
Fire door law for Bushey properties
In Bushey, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Bushey building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Is Bushey within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bushey in Hertfordshire and neighbouring towns such as Watford. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Bushey?
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.
What rating should a riser door be?
It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
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.
