HMO fire doors in Wrexham, done to the evidence
We provide HMO fire doors in Wrexham (LL13 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Wrexham protect escape routes in schools, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Wrexham, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Wrexham HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Which fire door rules apply in Wrexham?
Wrexham 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 from Wrexham
Do you work in Wrexham?
Yes, we take on HMO fire doors in Wrexham and the surrounding area, including Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wrexham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
