Riser and cupboard fire doors in Shipley: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Shipley, we offer riser and cupboard fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Shipley protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, schools and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Shipley blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. While fitting riser doors in Shipley, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you.
Why riser doors get overlooked
Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.
What you get:
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Signage as required
- Seals and frame gap sealing
- Single and double flush configurations
The regulations behind fire doors in Shipley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Shipley 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 Shipley 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
Is Shipley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Shipley in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Bradford. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Shipley?
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.
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.
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.
