Riser fire door installation in Leicestershire

Riser and cupboard fire doors in Leicestershire, done to the evidence

Across Leicestershire, from Leicester to Loughborough, we survey, supply and fit riser and cupboard fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.

While fitting riser doors in Leicestershire, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Leicestershire blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.

Fire door work in Leicestershire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.

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.

Which fire door rules apply in Leicestershire?

Fire doors in Leicestershire 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 Leicestershire 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.
