HMO fire doors for Huntingdon buildings
Looking for HMO fire doors in Huntingdon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Huntingdon and the wider Cambridgeshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Huntingdon has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Closers we fit in Huntingdon HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Huntingdon, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
Doors that keep working
HMO doors take hard use: closers get disconnected, doors get wedged and seals get painted. We set closers so they close and latch without slamming, which makes tenants less likely to defeat them, and leave you photographs and product details you can show the council.
What you get:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
What the rules say for Huntingdon
England's framework applies in Huntingdon. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Huntingdon, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Huntingdon need HMO fire doors?
The need for HMO fire doors usually arises in bedsit conversions or student lets, and sometimes shared houses. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Huntingdon to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions from Huntingdon
Is Huntingdon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire and neighbouring towns such as St Neots. There is no charge for the survey.
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 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.
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.
