Riser cupboard fire doors in Peterlee: questions
How quickly can you survey in Peterlee?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Peterlee visits with other work in County Durham. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Which rules do riser cupboard fire doors in Peterlee need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you fit just one door in Peterlee?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in County Durham.
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.
