Riser and cupboard fire doors in Dudley, done to the evidence
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Dudley is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Dudley range from industrial units to schools and offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We match riser doors in Dudley to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Dudley, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
- Single and double flush configurations
Which fire door rules apply in Dudley?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Dudley are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Dudley block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Is Dudley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Dudley in West Midlands and neighbouring towns such as Brierley Hill. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Dudley building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Do you fix fire stopping inside risers?
Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.
