Riser and cupboard fire doors in Farnham: what's involved
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Farnham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Farnham, houses with integral garages, care homes and small offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Farnham blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Farnham to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Signage as required
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Fire door law for Farnham properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Farnham 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 Farnham 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 Farnham
Is Farnham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Farnham in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Aldershot. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Farnham 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.
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.
