In and around Jarrow, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Jarrow blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Jarrow, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.

Why riser doors get overlooked

Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.

On a typical job that means:

• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Single and double flush configurations
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Signage as required

What the rules say for Jarrow

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.
