Riser and cupboard fire doors for Hoddesdon buildings
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Hoddesdon is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Hoddesdon, small blocks of flats, small offices and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We match riser doors in Hoddesdon to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Hoddesdon, 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.
What you get:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Signage as required
The regulations behind fire doors in Hoddesdon
England's framework applies in Hoddesdon. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hoddesdon, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
