Riser and cupboard fire doors for Frome buildings
We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Frome (BA11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Frome protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small blocks of flats and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We match riser doors in Frome to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Frome, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Signage as required
- Single and double flush configurations
What the rules say for Frome
The rules that apply to fire doors in Frome 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 Frome 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 from Frome
Do you cover BA11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Frome including BA11, and nearby towns such as Trowbridge and Bath. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Frome?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
Only if it is a fire-rated product with evidence for the wall rating. Many ordinary access panels and cupboard doors are not fire rated.
