HMO fire doors in Ellesmere Port

HMO fire doors for Ellesmere Port buildings

If you need HMO fire doors in Ellesmere Port, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Buildings in and around Ellesmere Port range from care homes to low-rise blocks of flats and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

For HMO landlords in Ellesmere Port, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Ellesmere Port HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
• Self-closers set to close without slamming
• Photo record for licensing and inspections
• Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed

Fire door law for Ellesmere Port properties

The rules that apply to fire doors in Ellesmere Port 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 Ellesmere Port 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.
