HMO fire doors in Hartlepool

HMO fire doors in Hartlepool, done to the evidence

When you book HMO fire doors in Hartlepool, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Around Hartlepool, low-rise blocks of flats, industrial estates and schools 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 Hartlepool HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Hartlepool, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals
• Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
• Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
