What riser and cupboard fire doors in Rhondda should include
Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Rhondda? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Rhondda and the wider Mid Glamorgan area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Rhondda protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and HMOs alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
While fitting riser doors in Rhondda, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Rhondda 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Signage as required
- Single and double flush configurations
Fire door law for Rhondda properties
Because Rhondda 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 Rhondda comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Do you work in Rhondda?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Rhondda and the surrounding area, including Tonypandy and Aberdare. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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 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.
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.
