Riser and cupboard fire doors for Horley buildings
From the RH6 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Horley for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Horley has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Horley blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Horley to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
Rules and responsibilities in Horley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Horley 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 Horley 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.
Which buildings in Horley need riser and cupboard fire doors?
From blocks of flats to hotels, the requirement for riser and cupboard fire doors in Horley comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you cover RH6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Horley including RH6, and nearby towns such as Crawley and Redhill. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Horley?
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.
Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?
Only if it is a fire-rated product with evidence for the wall rating. Many ordinary access panels and cupboard doors are not fire rated.
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.
