Riser and cupboard fire doors in Wishaw, done to the evidence
Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Wishaw? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Wishaw and the wider Lanarkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Wishaw protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, care homes and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
While fitting riser doors in Wishaw, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Wishaw blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Wishaw
In Wishaw, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover ML2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wishaw including ML2, and nearby towns such as Motherwell and Hamilton. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Wishaw?
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.
Do you fix fire stopping inside risers?
Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.
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.
