Riser and cupboard fire doors in Ewell, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Ewell, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Ewell protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, small offices and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
While fitting riser doors in Ewell, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Ewell blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
The fire stopping behind the door
The door is only half the picture. Inside the riser, the services passing through each floor must be fire stopped. That is a separate specialist task. Where we find gaps or missing fire stopping while fitting riser doors, we record it and flag it to you so it can be addressed.
What you get:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Ewell
Fire doors in Ewell fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Ewell above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you work in Ewell?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Ewell and the surrounding area, including Epsom and Sutton. 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 Ewell 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.
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.
