Riser and cupboard fire doors for Stoke-on-Trent buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stoke-on-Trent, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Stoke-on-Trent protect escape routes in restaurants, converted flats and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
While fitting riser doors in Stoke-on-Trent, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Stoke-on-Trent blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
Why riser doors get overlooked
Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.
What you get:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
The regulations behind fire doors in Stoke-on-Trent
In Stoke-on-Trent, 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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.

From office buildings to hotels, the requirement for riser and cupboard fire doors in Stoke-on-Trent comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

How quickly can you survey in Stoke-on-Trent?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Do riser doors need closers?
Not if they are kept locked shut and the fire strategy allows it; they should then be labelled accordingly. Cupboards that are opened regularly normally need self-closers.
