HMO fire doors in Flint, done to the evidence
Our HMO fire doors service in Flint is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Flint, family homes after loft conversions, care homes and light industrial buildings 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.
We can price an HMO in Flint directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Flint 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
Fire door law for Flint properties
Because Flint is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Flint comes from your fire risk assessment.
Which buildings in Flint need HMO fire doors?
Typical settings for HMO fire doors include student lets, shared houses and bedsit conversions. In Flint, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
