HMO fire doors for Hawarden buildings
If you need HMO fire doors in Hawarden, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Hawarden, care homes, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats 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.
For HMO landlords in Hawarden, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Hawarden directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
Which fire door rules apply in Hawarden?

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Hawarden, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
