HMO fire doors in Newtownards: what's involved
If you need HMO fire doors in Newtownards, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Newtownards, family homes after loft conversions, schools and small offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Closers we fit in Newtownards HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Newtownards, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
What the rules say for Newtownards
