What HMO fire doors in Colwyn Bay should include
Our HMO fire doors service in Colwyn Bay is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Colwyn Bay, light industrial buildings, small offices and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Closers we fit in Colwyn Bay HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Colwyn Bay, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
What you get:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
The regulations behind fire doors in Colwyn Bay
Colwyn Bay is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions
Do you cover LL29 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Colwyn Bay including LL29, and nearby towns such as Rhyl and Flint. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
Can you work to a council schedule of works?
Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.
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.
