Riser and cupboard fire doors in Lincolnshire: what's involved
We provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Lincolnshire, covering 10 towns and 47 postcode districts, including Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Lincolnshire blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Lincolnshire to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
Lincolnshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
The fire stopping behind the door
The door is only half the picture. Inside the riser, the services passing through each floor must be fire stopped. That is a separate specialist task. Where we find gaps or missing fire stopping while fitting riser doors, we record it and flag it to you so it can be addressed.
Rules and responsibilities in Lincolnshire
Fire doors in Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire 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 provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Lincolnshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lincolnshire, including Lincoln and Grimsby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
