Riser and cupboard fire doors for West Sussex buildings
For riser and cupboard fire doors anywhere in West Sussex, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Crawley, Worthing, Bognor Regis and the rest of the county.
While fitting riser doors in West Sussex, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in West Sussex blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
West Sussex has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Why riser doors get overlooked
Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.
The regulations behind fire doors in West Sussex
In West Sussex, 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 West Sussex 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.
