HMO fire doors for Derby buildings
Looking for HMO fire doors in Derby? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Derby and the wider Derbyshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Derby protect escape routes in care homes, restaurants and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For HMO landlords in Derby, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. Closers we fit in Derby 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.
What you get:
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
What the rules say for Derby
Fire doors in Derby fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Derby above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Which buildings in Derby need HMO fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Derby can all commission HMO fire doors from us. The usual settings are converted period houses and bedsit conversions, though single doors for shared houses are just as welcome.

Questions from Derby
Is Derby within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Derby in Derbyshire and neighbouring towns such as Belper. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Derby building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
