Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Swansea
Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Swansea? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Swansea and the wider West Glamorgan area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Swansea, fire door work covers everything from care homes to shared houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Swansea blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Swansea 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Rules and responsibilities in Swansea
Because Swansea is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Swansea comes from your fire risk assessment.

The need for riser and cupboard fire doors usually arises in student accommodation or blocks of flats, and sometimes office buildings.

Questions
Is Swansea within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Swansea in West Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Briton Ferry. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Swansea?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
