Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Burgess Hill
We provide riser and cupboard fire doors in Burgess Hill (RH15 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Burgess Hill, fire door work covers everything from care homes to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Burgess Hill blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Burgess Hill to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
Closer or lock?
Doors on stores and risers that are kept locked shut usually do not need a self-closer, as long as the strategy allows it and the door is marked accordingly. Doors that are used regularly, such as cleaner's stores, usually do. We follow the fire strategy and the risk assessment for each opening.
Each installation includes:
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
Rules and responsibilities in Burgess Hill
The rules that apply to fire doors in Burgess Hill 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 Burgess Hill 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.

Questions
Do you work in Burgess Hill?
Yes, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors in Burgess Hill and the surrounding area, including Haywards Heath and Portslade. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Burgess Hill 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.
What rating should a riser door be?
It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
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.
