Riser and cupboard fire doors in Littlehampton: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Littlehampton, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Littlehampton, schools, houses with integral garages and industrial estates all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Littlehampton blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Littlehampton 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:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Signage as required
The regulations behind fire doors in Littlehampton
Fire doors in Littlehampton fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Littlehampton above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you cover BN17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Littlehampton including BN17, and nearby towns such as Bognor Regis and Worthing. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Littlehampton?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
