Riser cupboard fire doors in Barnstaple: how we work
We cover Barnstaple and nearby Bideford for riser cupboard fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Where possible we combine Barnstaple surveys with other visits in Devon, such as Bideford and Tiverton, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for riser cupboard fire doors in Devon
Because Barnstaple is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. 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.

Common questions in Devon
Can you work around tenants or staff in Barnstaple?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Barnstaple.
Do you cover Barnstaple?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit riser cupboard fire doors throughout Barnstaple and the rest of Devon, including EX31 and nearby Bideford.
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.
