Riser and cupboard fire doors in Burngreave: what's involved
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Burngreave is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Burngreave has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We match riser doors in Burngreave to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Burngreave, 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:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
What the rules say for Burngreave

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.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
