Riser and cupboard fire doors for Lanarkshire buildings
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service runs throughout Lanarkshire. Main towns include East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Lanarkshire blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Lanarkshire, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
Lanarkshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Fire door law for Lanarkshire properties
In Lanarkshire, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Riser and cupboard fire doors questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Lanarkshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride and Hamilton. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
