Riser and cupboard fire doors in Inverness, done to the evidence
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Inverness, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Inverness, fire door work covers everything from schools to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
While fitting riser doors in Inverness, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Inverness blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Which fire door rules apply in Inverness?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Inverness. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Inverness are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions
Do you cover IV1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Inverness including IV1, and nearby towns such as Elgin and Perth. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
