Riser and cupboard fire doors in Garston, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Garston, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Garston protect escape routes in small offices, light industrial buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
While fitting riser doors in Garston, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Garston 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.
Each installation includes:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets

Common questions
Do you cover L19 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Garston including L19, and nearby towns such as Speke and Halewood. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Garston?
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.
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.
