Riser and cupboard fire doors in Kidsgrove

Riser and cupboard fire doors in Kidsgrove: what's involved

Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Kidsgrove is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Around Kidsgrove, schools, small offices 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 Kidsgrove blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Kidsgrove, 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.

What you get:

• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Signage as required
• Single and double flush configurations
• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets

Which fire door rules apply in Kidsgrove?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Kidsgrove are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Kidsgrove block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
