Riser and cupboard fire doors in Retford

Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Retford

If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Retford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Retford has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, care homes and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We match riser doors in Retford to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Retford, 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.

Each installation includes:

• Signage as required
• Single and double flush configurations
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified

The regulations behind fire doors in Retford

In Retford, 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 Retford 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.
