Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Shrewsbury
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Shrewsbury, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Shrewsbury, fire door work covers everything from care homes to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
While fitting riser doors in Shrewsbury, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Shrewsbury 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Rules and responsibilities in Shrewsbury
The rules that apply to fire doors in Shrewsbury are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Shrewsbury block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions
Is Shrewsbury within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Shrewsbury in Shropshire and neighbouring towns such as Wellington. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Shrewsbury 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.
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.
