Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Hinckley
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Hinckley is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Hinckley, schools, industrial estates and HMOs 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 Hinckley, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Hinckley 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Hinckley
Fire doors in Hinckley 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 Hinckley 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 cover LE10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hinckley including LE10, and nearby towns such as Nuneaton and Bedworth. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hinckley 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.
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.
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.
