Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Staines
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Staines, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Staines range from HMOs to industrial estates and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We match riser doors in Staines to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Staines, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
Fire door law for Staines properties
England's framework applies in Staines. 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 Staines, 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.

Questions
Do you cover TW18 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Staines including TW18, and nearby towns such as Egham and Ashford (Surrey). The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
