Getting riser and cupboard fire doors right in Bognor Regis
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Bognor Regis is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Riser and meter cupboard doors in Bognor Regis blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Bognor Regis, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
What you get:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Fire door law for Bognor Regis properties
England's framework applies in Bognor Regis. 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.

Questions
Do you work in Bognor Regis?

What happens on a survey in Bognor Regis?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
