Riser and cupboard fire doors in Evesham: what's involved
Our riser and cupboard fire doors service in Evesham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Evesham, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
While fitting riser doors in Evesham, we photograph any gaps in fire stopping we can see and pass them on to you. Riser and meter cupboard doors in Evesham blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations
- Signage as required
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
What the rules say for Evesham
England's framework applies in Evesham. 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 Evesham, 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.

Questions
Is Evesham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Evesham in Worcestershire and neighbouring towns such as Tewkesbury. 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 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.
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.
