What riser and cupboard fire doors in Egham should include
From the TW20 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Egham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Egham has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
While fitting riser doors in Egham, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Egham blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Single and double flush configurations
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found

Yes. We cover Egham including TW20, and nearby towns such as Staines and Ashford (Surrey). The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Egham 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 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.
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.
