Riser and cupboard fire doors in Stratford-upon-Avon

Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Stratford-upon-Avon

From the CV37 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Stratford-upon-Avon for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Around Stratford-upon-Avon, small blocks of flats, schools and small offices 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.

We match riser doors in Stratford-upon-Avon to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Stratford-upon-Avon, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.

Why riser doors get overlooked

Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.

As standard, the work covers:

• Record of any fire stopping concerns found
• Signage as required
• Seals and frame gap sealing
• Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
