HMO fire doors in Winsford, done to the evidence
We provide HMO fire doors in Winsford (CW7 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Winsford protect escape routes in schools, small offices and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We can price an HMO in Winsford directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Winsford 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:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Winsford
In Winsford, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Winsford building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Is Winsford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Winsford in Cheshire and neighbouring towns such as Northwich. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Winsford?
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.
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.
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.
