Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Weston-super-Mare
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service covers Weston-super-Mare and the wider Somerset area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Weston-super-Mare has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, HMOs and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Weston-super-Mare blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Weston-super-Mare, 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:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Signage as required
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
The regulations behind fire doors in Weston-super-Mare
England's framework applies in Weston-super-Mare. 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 Weston-super-Mare, 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.
