Getting HMO fire doors right in Craigavon

In and around Craigavon, fire door work covers everything from schools to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We can price an HMO in Craigavon directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Craigavon 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.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
Fire door law for Craigavon properties
Craigavon is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Craigavon are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions
Do you cover BT64 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Craigavon including BT64, and nearby towns such as Portadown and Lisburn. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
