What riser and cupboard fire doors in Blackpool should include
From the FY1 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Blackpool for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Blackpool, care homes, GP surgeries and offices 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.
While fitting riser doors in Blackpool, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Blackpool 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:
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
Fire door law for Blackpool properties
Fire doors in Blackpool fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Blackpool above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you work in Blackpool?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Blackpool and the surrounding area, including Thornton-Cleveleys and Lytham St Annes. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Blackpool building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
