Riser and cupboard fire doors in Market Harborough, done to the evidence
When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Market Harborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Market Harborough protect escape routes in care homes, small blocks of flats and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We match riser doors in Market Harborough to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Market Harborough, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Market Harborough
In Market Harborough, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Market Harborough building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions from Market Harborough
Is Market Harborough within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Market Harborough in Northamptonshire and neighbouring towns such as Corby. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
