HMO fire doors for Carrickfergus buildings
From the BT38 postcode district outwards, we take on HMO fire doors across Carrickfergus for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Carrickfergus has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, care homes and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We can price an HMO in Carrickfergus directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Carrickfergus 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:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
