Riser & Service Cupboard Doors for Hartlepool buildings
Getting riser cupboard fire doors right in Hartlepool means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Where possible we combine Hartlepool surveys with other visits in County Durham, such as Peterlee and Billingham, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.

Riser cupboard fire doors in Hartlepool: questions
Can you fit just one door in Hartlepool?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in County Durham.
What does a Hartlepool quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Hartlepool?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
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.
