HMO fire doors in Truro, done to the evidence
Our HMO fire doors service in Truro is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Truro range from light industrial buildings to schools and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For HMO landlords in Truro, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Truro directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
What you get:
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Self-closers set to close without slamming

Common questions
Do you cover TR1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Truro including TR1, and nearby towns such as Falmouth and Redruth. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Truro?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
