Our Lancaster supply and fit service
We fit fire-rated riser and service cupboard doors in Lancaster and the rest of Lancashire. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Where possible we combine Lancaster surveys with other visits in Lancashire, such as Morecambe and Fleetwood, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Lancaster
Because Lancaster 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Lancaster?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit riser cupboard fire doors throughout Lancaster and the rest of Lancashire, including LA1 and nearby Morecambe.
Is the survey in Lancaster free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Lancaster?
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.
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.
