Riser and cupboard fire doors in Cannock: what's involved
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Cannock, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Cannock, fire door work covers everything from schools to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We match riser doors in Cannock to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Cannock, 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:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Signage as required
Rules and responsibilities in Cannock
England's framework applies in Cannock. 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 Cannock, 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.
