Riser and cupboard fire doors in Rugby

Riser and cupboard fire doors for Rugby buildings

We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Rugby (CV21 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Buildings in and around Rugby range from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions and low-rise blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

Closer or lock?

Doors on stores and risers that are kept locked shut usually do not need a self-closer, as long as the strategy allows it and the door is marked accordingly. Doors that are used regularly, such as cleaner's stores, usually do. We follow the fire strategy and the risk assessment for each opening.

Each installation includes:

• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
• Signage as required
• Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
• Seals and frame gap sealing

Rules and responsibilities in Rugby

Fire doors in Rugby fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Rugby above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Where riser and cupboard fire doors fit in Rugby

Typical settings for riser and cupboard fire doors include blocks of flats, office buildings and student accommodation. In Rugby, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
