Riser and cupboard fire doors in Sudbury, done to the evidence
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Sudbury, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Sudbury, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We match riser doors in Sudbury to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Sudbury, 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.
What you get:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
The regulations behind fire doors in Sudbury
The rules that apply to fire doors in Sudbury 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 Sudbury 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.

Questions from Sudbury
Do you work in Sudbury?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Sudbury and the surrounding area, including Colchester and Haverhill. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Sudbury building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
What rating should a riser door be?
It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
