Riser and cupboard fire doors: our service in Bradford
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Bradford is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Bradford range from mixed-use office buildings to care homes and student accommodation. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We match riser doors in Bradford to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before. While fitting riser doors in Bradford, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double flush configurations
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Signage as required
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
Fire door law for Bradford properties
England's framework applies in Bradford. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Bradford, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Is Bradford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bradford in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Shipley. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Bradford?
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.
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.
