Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Banstead
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Banstead, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Banstead protect escape routes in care homes, small offices and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Banstead blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Banstead, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
What the rules say for Banstead
England's framework applies in Banstead. 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 Banstead, 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.

Common questions
Is Banstead within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Banstead in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Sutton. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Banstead?
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.
