Our Southport supply and fit service
Need riser cupboard fire doors in Southport? We supply and fit complete certified doorsets across Merseyside, starting with a free measure survey in and around PR8.

Where possible we combine Southport surveys with other visits in Merseyside, such as Formby and Lytham St Annes, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

Riser cupboard fire doors in Southport: questions
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Southport.
Can you fit just one door in Southport?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Merseyside.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Southport?
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.
