Riser and cupboard fire doors in Thornton-Cleveleys

Riser and cupboard fire doors in Thornton-Cleveleys: what's involved

We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Thornton-Cleveleys (FY5 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Thornton-Cleveleys has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Thornton-Cleveleys blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Thornton-Cleveleys to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Single and double flush configurations
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified

Rules and responsibilities in Thornton-Cleveleys

England's framework applies in Thornton-Cleveleys. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010.

For blocks over 11 metres in Thornton-Cleveleys, 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.
