Riser and cupboard fire doors for Staffordshire buildings
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service runs throughout Staffordshire. Main towns include Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Burton upon Trent, and we cover the smaller places in between.
While fitting riser doors in Staffordshire, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. We match riser doors in Staffordshire to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
Fire door work in Staffordshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Staffordshire
In Staffordshire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Staffordshire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Staffordshire?
Yes. We cover all of Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
