Riser and cupboard fire doors for Tynemouth buildings
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Tynemouth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Tynemouth range from care homes to HMOs and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
While fitting riser doors in Tynemouth, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Tynemouth 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
The regulations behind fire doors in Tynemouth
In Tynemouth, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Tynemouth building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Do you work in Tynemouth?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Tynemouth and the surrounding area, including North Shields and South Shields. 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 Tynemouth 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.
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.
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.
