Riser and cupboard fire doors in Chapeltown

Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Chapeltown

We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Chapeltown (S35 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Around Chapeltown, small offices, schools and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Chapeltown blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Chapeltown, 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Signage as required
