Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Oadby
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Oadby, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Oadby, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Oadby blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Oadby 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.
Each installation includes:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Rules and responsibilities in Oadby
England's framework applies in Oadby. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Oadby, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover LE2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Oadby including LE2, and nearby towns such as Wigston and Leicester. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Oadby 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.
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.
