Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Wednesfield

Fire doors in Wednesfield protect escape routes in schools, care homes and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Wednesfield blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Wednesfield 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.
Each installation includes:
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
The regulations behind fire doors in Wednesfield
In Wednesfield, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Wednesfield building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Do you work in Wednesfield?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Wednesfield and the surrounding area, including Willenhall and Wolverhampton. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
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.
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.
