Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Nuneaton
Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Nuneaton? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Nuneaton and the wider Warwickshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Nuneaton, industrial estates, high-street shops and low-rise blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Nuneaton blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Nuneaton to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
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:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required

Questions from Nuneaton
Is Nuneaton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Nuneaton in Warwickshire and neighbouring towns such as Bedworth. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Nuneaton 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.
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.
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.
