Riser and cupboard fire doors in Nailsea, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Nailsea, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Nailsea protect escape routes in care homes, small offices and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We match riser doors in Nailsea to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Nailsea, 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:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets

Common questions
Is Nailsea within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Nailsea in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Portishead. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Nailsea?
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.
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 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.
