Your questions answered

Do you cover Seaford?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit riser cupboard fire doors throughout Seaford and the rest of East Sussex, including BN25 and nearby Rottingdean.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Seaford?

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.

Which rules do riser cupboard fire doors in Seaford 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.

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.
