HMO fire doors in Crewe, done to the evidence
If you need HMO fire doors in Crewe, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Crewe, fire door work covers everything from schools to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Crewe directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Crewe HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors

Questions from Crewe
Is Crewe within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Crewe in Cheshire and neighbouring towns such as Winsford. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Crewe?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Can tenants lock their bedroom doors?
Yes, but they must be able to get out without a key, so thumb-turn locks on the inside are common. The lock must be covered by the door's evidence.
