HMO fire doors for Windsor buildings
From the SL4 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Windsor for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Windsor protect escape routes in care homes, small offices and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Closers we fit in Windsor HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Windsor, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
What you get:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Rules and responsibilities in Windsor
The rules that apply to fire doors in Windsor are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Windsor block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you work in Windsor?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Windsor and the surrounding area, including Slough and Egham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
Do all doors in an HMO need to be fire doors?
Not always. Bedroom, kitchen and stair doors are the usual focus. The council's requirements depend on the HMO's size, storeys and layout.
