Riser and cupboard fire doors in Warwickshire: what's involved
Across Warwickshire, from Nuneaton to Rugby, we survey, supply and fit riser and cupboard fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We match riser doors in Warwickshire to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Warwickshire blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
Warwickshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Warwickshire?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Warwickshire 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 Warwickshire 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.

Common questions
Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Warwickshire?
Yes. We cover all of Warwickshire, including Nuneaton and Rugby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
