Riser and cupboard fire doors in Shirley: what's involved
Looking for riser and cupboard fire doors in Shirley? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Shirley and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Shirley range from schools to care homes and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
While fitting riser doors in Shirley, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Shirley blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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.
What you get:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
What the rules say for Shirley
England's framework applies in Shirley. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Shirley, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
