Riser and cupboard fire doors in Bedworth: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bedworth, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Bedworth protect escape routes in small offices, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
While fitting riser doors in Bedworth, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Bedworth 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.
What you get:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
Rules and responsibilities in Bedworth
In Bedworth, 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 Bedworth 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.

Questions from Bedworth
Do you cover CV12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bedworth including CV12, and nearby towns such as Nuneaton and Coventry. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Bedworth?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
