Riser and cupboard fire doors for Aberdare buildings
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Aberdare is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Aberdare protect escape routes in schools, light industrial buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Aberdare blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Aberdare, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
What you get:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Which fire door rules apply in Aberdare?
Because Aberdare is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Aberdare comes from your fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Do you cover CF44 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Aberdare including CF44, and nearby towns such as Rhondda and Merthyr Tydfil. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Aberdare 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.
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.
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.
