HMO fire doors for Maidenhead buildings
If you need HMO fire doors in Maidenhead, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Maidenhead protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, low-rise blocks of flats and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Maidenhead, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Maidenhead directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
Fitting around tenants
HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.
On a typical job that means:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
