Riser and cupboard fire doors for Pudsey buildings
From the LS28 postcode district outwards, we take on riser and cupboard fire doors across Pudsey for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Pudsey, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Pudsey blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Pudsey 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Fire-rated riser and cupboard doorsets
Fire door law for Pudsey properties
Fire doors in Pudsey 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 Pudsey 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 LS28 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Pudsey including LS28, and nearby towns such as Bradford and Morley. The survey and written quote are free.
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 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.
