Replacement Access Panels & Riser Doors for Facilities Managers.

Replacement, retrofit, and upgrade access panels, riser doors, and loft hatches, from a UK manufacturer with fast dispatch and the fire compliance evidence your building needs.

Facilities managers require access panels, riser doors, and loft hatches that provide reliable, long term maintenance access to concealed building services while maintaining fire compartmentation, acoustic separation, and security. In existing buildings, this often means replacing damaged, missing, or non compliant access products as part of planned maintenance programmes, fire safety upgrades, or compartmentation remediation works. Replacement products must match the fire rating and performance requirements of the original specification, fit the existing structural opening, and be available quickly to minimise disruption to building occupants. We support facilities managers across commercialhealthcare and residential estates, see our sector pages for compliance detail.

What We Provide for Facilities Management

Replacement products, fire safety upgrades and compliance evidence for existing building portfolios.

Replacement and Retrofit Products

Our picture frame profile is designed specifically for retrofit installation into finished walls, no need to disturb the surrounding surface. We manufacture to exact dimensions to fit existing structural openings, even when they do not match standard sizes.

Fire Safety Upgrades

When a compartmentation survey identifies access panels or riser doors that need upgrading to fire rated products, we provide the tested replacements with full test evidence. Our technical team can review your survey findings and recommend the appropriate product.

Fast Availability

Standard and bespoke products manufactured at our UK facility and dispatched within 3 to 5 working days. We understand that remediation programmes often have regulatory deadlines, and we prioritise orders accordingly.

Compliance Evidence

Every fire rated product is supplied with test reports and installation guidance, giving you the documentation needed to demonstrate compliance to your responsible person, Building Control, or the Fire Risk Assessor.

Site Survey Support

For large scale replacement programmes, our on site technical support team can survey existing access points, assess replacement requirements, and produce a schedule of replacement products with specifications and quantities.

Portfolio Supply Agreements

For housing associations, local authorities, and facilities management companies managing multiple buildings, we offer portfolio supply agreements with fixed pricing, priority dispatch, and dedicated account management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from facilities managers about replacement products, fire compliance and retrofit installations.

Any access panel or riser door installed in a fire rated wall, floor, or ceiling must be fire rated to match the compartment boundary. Your fire risk assessment should identify which walls and floors require fire resistance, and any access points in those boundaries must be rated accordingly. If you are unsure, a compartmentation survey by a specialist contractor will identify which products need upgrading.
Yes. We manufacture to exact dimensions, so we can produce replacement panels to fit existing structural openings even when they are non standard sizes. Provide us with the opening dimensions and the fire rating requirement, and we will supply the correct product.
Standard fire rated access panels from our stock range are dispatched promptly. Bespoke sizes are manufactured within 3, 5 working days. For urgent remediation requirements, contact our team to discuss expedited options.
Yes. Every fire rated product is supplied with test reports. This documentation demonstrates that the replacement product meets the fire resistance requirements identified in your fire risk assessment.
Yes. We regularly support large scale replacement programmes for housing associations, local authorities, and facilities management companies. We provide portfolio supply agreements with fixed pricing, priority dispatch, and dedicated account management. Our technical team can also assist with surveying existing access points and producing replacement schedules.
For retrofit into finished walls, our picture frame profile is recommended. It installs over the finished surface without requiring plastering or jointing. For new installations or walls that have not yet been finished, our beaded frame profile is designed for taping, jointing, or plastering.
Yes. Our Part L compliant insulated loft hatches provide improved thermal performance for the roof void access point, supporting energy efficiency upgrades and meeting current Building Regulation requirements. They are suitable for both new installation and replacement of existing non insulated hatches.
Fire rated riser doors are tested as complete assemblies, frame, door leaf, seals, and ironmongery. Replacing only the door leaf without the frame may invalidate the fire rating. We recommend replacing the complete assembly to maintain compliance. Our technical team can advise on the appropriate approach for your specific situation.
