Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Wallasey? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Wallasey and the wider Merseyside area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Wallasey, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to low-rise blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Wallasey blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Wallasey, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
The regulations behind fire doors in Wallasey
England's framework applies in Wallasey. 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 Wallasey, 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.

Questions
Do you cover CH45 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wallasey including CH45, and nearby towns such as Birkenhead and Bootle. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
