What riser and cupboard fire doors in Warwick should include
Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Warwick? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Warwick and the wider Warwickshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Warwick has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, care homes and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Warwick blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Warwick, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Single and double flush configurations

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.

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.

Common questions
Is Warwick within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Warwick in Warwickshire and neighbouring towns such as Royal Leamington Spa. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
