HMO fire doors for Newquay buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Newquay, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Newquay has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, schools and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We can price an HMO in Newquay directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Newquay HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
Doors that keep working
HMO doors take hard use: closers get disconnected, doors get wedged and seals get painted. We set closers so they close and latch without slamming, which makes tenants less likely to defeat them, and leave you photographs and product details you can show the council.
On a typical job that means:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
What the rules say for Newquay
England's framework applies in Newquay. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Newquay, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Newquay need HMO fire doors?
You are most likely to need HMO fire doors if you look after converted period houses, student lets or bedsit conversions. Whatever the building in Newquay, we survey each opening and tell you which doors need work and which do not.

Questions
Is Newquay within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Newquay in Cornwall and neighbouring towns such as Truro. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Newquay 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.
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.
