HMO fire doors: our service in County Down
We provide HMO fire doors across County Down, covering 3 towns and 16 postcode districts, including Bangor, Newtownards and Newry.
We can price an HMO in County Down directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in County Down HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
Wherever your building is in County Down, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Fire door law for County Down properties
County Down 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 County Down are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Common questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across County Down?
Yes. We cover all of County Down, including Bangor and Newtownards. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
