What the law says in Reading
New and replacement fire doors in Reading are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
What do riser cupboard fire doors cost in Reading?

Riser cupboard fire doors in Reading: questions
How quickly can you survey in Reading?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Reading visits with other work in Berkshire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Reading.
Can you fit just one door in Reading?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Berkshire.
What rating does a riser door need?
In England, Approved Document B generally asks for at least half the fire resistance of the shaft wall, with a 30-minute minimum — so FD30 is typical, rising to FD60 for 120-minute shafts. Your fire strategy confirms it.
