Riser and cupboard fire doors in Brighouse, done to the evidence
If you need riser and cupboard fire doors in Brighouse, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Brighouse, 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 Brighouse blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Brighouse, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations

Common questions
Is Brighouse within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Brighouse in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Halifax. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
