Riser & Service Cupboard Doors for Colchester buildings
Getting riser cupboard fire doors right in Colchester 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 Colchester surveys with other visits in Essex, such as Sudbury and Clacton-on-Sea, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

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.

Our guide for riser cupboard fire doors is £550–£950 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Colchester are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.

Common questions in Essex
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Colchester?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Essex.
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.
