Certified riser cupboard fire doors for Washington
We fit fire-rated riser and service cupboard doors in Washington and the rest of Tyne and Wear. 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 Washington surveys with other visits in Tyne and Wear, such as Chester-le-Street and Felling, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Fire door rules in Washington
Because Washington 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.
