Riser fire door installation in Rugeley

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

Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Rugeley? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Rugeley and the wider Staffordshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Rugeley, small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings 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.

We match riser doors in Rugeley to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Rugeley, 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Single and double flush configurations
• Seals and frame gap sealing

The regulations behind fire doors in Rugeley

England's framework applies in Rugeley. 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 Rugeley, 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.
