Riser and cupboard fire doors in Grantham, done to the evidence
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Grantham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Grantham, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
While fitting riser doors in Grantham, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Grantham blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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.
What you get:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Signage as required
- Single and double flush configurations

Questions
Do you work in Grantham?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Grantham and the surrounding area, including Newark-on-Trent and Melton Mowbray. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Grantham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do riser doors need closers?
Not if they are kept locked shut and the fire strategy allows it; they should then be labelled accordingly. Cupboards that are opened regularly normally need self-closers.
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.
