Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Neath
From the SA10 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Neath for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Neath range from care homes to schools and small 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 Neath blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Neath, 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:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
