What councils typically look for

Licensing and housing officers usually look at bedroom doors, kitchen doors and any doors onto the escape stair. Common requirements include 30-minute doors, self-closers, smoke seals and well-fitted frames. Requirements vary with the size and layout of the HMO and the local authority's approach; our HMO fire door guide sets out the typical expectations.

Each installation includes:

• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals
• FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
• Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
