Access solutions,
engineered for compliance.

Our access panels and riser doors are available with fire ratings from 60 minutes up to 120 minutes (two hours). All fire rated products are third-party tested to BS 476 and BS EN 1634-1. Each fire rated product comes with full test report documentation for building control sign-off.

Yes, bespoke manufacturing is one of our core strengths. If a standard size doesn't fit your project requirements, we can engineer access panels, riser doors, and loft hatches to your exact specifications. Bespoke options include custom dimensions, non-standard configurations, specific finishes, and special performance requirements. Lead times for bespoke products are typically 2-3 weeks depending on complexity.

Access panels are typically smaller units designed for accessing services behind walls and ceilings — things like valves, junction boxes, and inspection points. They're usually flush-fitted and designed to blend with the surrounding surface. Riser doors are larger, floor-to-ceiling height doors used to access vertical service risers in buildings. They're commonly found in corridors and communal areas of multi-storey buildings, providing access to pipes, cables, and meters while maintaining fire compartmentation.

Yes, we offer Part L compliant loft hatches and access solutions designed to meet Building Regulations for thermal efficiency. Our insulated R12 loft hatches achieve calculated U values from 0.567 W/m²K on the Ladder variant to 0.760 W/m²K on the Picture Frame and Beaded Frame, helping buildings meet energy performance requirements. Part L compliance is increasingly important for both new builds and renovations, and we provide full thermal performance data for specification purposes.

Yes, we manufacture acoustic rated access panels and riser doors for noise-sensitive environments such as hospitals, hotels, recording studios, and residential developments. Our acoustic products are tested to BS EN ISO 10140-2:2010 and can achieve sound reduction ratings up to 48dB Rw. Many of our products combine acoustic performance with fire ratings, providing dual functionality for demanding specifications.

Standard products are manufactured and dispatched within 3-5 working days from order confirmation. This includes most standard-sized access panels, riser doors, meter overboxes, and loft hatches. Bespoke and custom products typically take 2-3 weeks depending on complexity and quantity. For large projects, we recommend early engagement so we can plan production around your programme.

You can request a quote by sending us your requirements — this could be drawings, a door schedule, performance specifications, or just a description of what you need. Our team will review your brief, recommend compliant solutions, and provide clear pricing with lead times. For large projects or complex requirements, we can arrange a call with our technical team to discuss your specification in detail.

Yes, we provide technical drawings as part of our service. Once your order is confirmed, we supply detailed drawings showing dimensions, fixing details, and installation guidance. These can be used for coordination with other trades and for your project records. We also offer CAD files (DWG and DXF) and BIM objects (Revit families and IFC files) for download from our technical resources section.

Yes, we can provide physical samples so you can review build quality, finishes, and operation before committing to a specification. Samples are particularly useful for projects where aesthetic integration is important or where you need to demonstrate options to clients or design teams. Contact us with your sample request and we'll arrange delivery.

Yes, we deliver direct to site anywhere in the UK. Products are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. For large orders, we can coordinate delivery timing to suit your construction programme and site access requirements.

Yes, we provide ready-to-use NBS specification clauses for all our product ranges. These are formatted for seamless integration into your project specifications using NBS Chorus or traditional documentation. Our NBS clauses cover access panels, riser doors, meter overboxes, and loft hatches across all performance ratings.

Yes, we offer BIM objects including Revit families (.rfa) and IFC files for accurate 3D modelling. Our BIM content includes full product geometry, performance parameters, and specification data to support your design process. BIM objects are available for download from our technical resources section or on request from our team.

Our products are tested by independent third-party laboratories including Warrington Fire and Exova. Reports cover fire resistance to BS 476 Parts 20/22, acoustic performance to BS EN ISO 10140-2:2010, smoke leakage to BS 476 Part 31.1, and thermal performance for Part L compliance. Full test reports are provided with every order for your project records and building control submissions.

Yes, we offer RIBA-approved CPD seminars covering fire safety, access solutions, and building regulations compliance. Seminars can be delivered at your office or online, and count towards your annual CPD requirements. Topics include fire compartmentation, acoustic performance in buildings, and specifying access solutions for different building types. Contact us to arrange a session for your team.
