What riser and cupboard fire doors in Oxfordshire should include
Whether your building is in Oxford, Banbury or a smaller place in Oxfordshire, we can provide riser and cupboard fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
We match riser doors in Oxfordshire to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Oxfordshire blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Oxfordshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Oxfordshire?
England's framework applies in Oxfordshire. 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 Oxfordshire, 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.

Common questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Oxfordshire?
Yes. We cover all of Oxfordshire, including Oxford and Banbury. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
